CLEVELAND – U.S Coast Guard Station Marblehead medically evacuated a 64-year-old male experiencing symptoms of faint from a 70-foot fishing vessel just east of Pelee Island at approximately 9:45 a.m. Wednesday.
“He was having shortness of breath, looked kind of clammy — so we took him in,” said Boatswain’s Mate 1st Class Christopher Channels.
Channels and his 33-foot Special Purpose Craft-Law Enforcement (SPC-LE) crew transferred the man to awaiting Emergency Medial Services on shore in Kingston, Ontario.
The man was in stable condition upon transfer to a hospital in Leamington, Ontario.
