On Sunday, January 15, 2023, the US Coast Guard rescued a 39-year-old man who was suffering from heart attack-like symptoms, approximately 40 miles offshore Destin, Florida. 

  • According to a statement released by the US Coast Guard, Sector Mobile watchstanders received a distress call over VHF-FM channel 16 at 11:15 a.m. from the crew aboard the motor vessel “No Pressure.”

“Watchstanders coordinated the launch of a Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew and a Coast Guard Station Destin 45-foot Response Boat-Medium boatcrew to assist,” said the statement.

Additionally, a Coast Guard Aviation Training Center HC-144 Ocean Sentry aircrew, which was on a training mission, self-diverted to establish radio communication with the No Pressure. Emergency medical services personnel accompanying the boat crew arrived on scene and recommended not hoisting the crewmember to a helicopter.

The boat crew received the crewmember and transferred him to an awaiting ambulance at Station Destin. The US Coast Guard reported that the crewmember was last reported to be in stable condition.
