Around 8:25 a.m., the fishing vessel Braedon Michael notified the Coast Guard that a crewmember was experiencing flu like symptoms and was in and out of consciousness.

An MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter launched from Cape Cod and arrived on scene an hour later, with crews safely hoisting the crewmember from the vessel and transporting him to Air Station Cape Cod, where EMS personnel were waiting.
