Wind and rain buffeted the Vineyard Saturday morning, the remnants of a slow moving northeaster. A Coast Guard Jayhawk helicopter banked sharply over Lagoon Pond and approached Martha’s Vineyard Hospital.
The HH-60 helicopter with its distinctive Coast Guard red and white color scheme hovered over a tidal pond behind the hospital sending up a spray of water. The pilot moved his aircraft forward and touched down on the small landing pad at the edge of the back parking lot.
