In my view your quick decision making was correct and had it turned out to be a heart attack you potentially saved Miguel’s life by getting help immediately. Well done!!
Great job guys, and the best of health to your shipmate under the quack. Ireland and Wales air sea rescue (not forgetting Stena) absolutely superb, God speed everyone 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for sharing, and best wishes for Miguel. I always wondered about helicopter rescues on a yacht with a bimini, i would struggle to get mine down in an emergency, so this was interesting
Yes, I figured the British cuisine struck Miguel hard. Only the hardest men should down a massive bacon and egg butty before a long passage. I’m pretty sure this was on my RYA Day Skipper syllabus but who can resist once handed one at sea?
Great to see that everything came together in an emergency. I am glad that the medical condition was not life threatening. I have never been aboard a Jeanneau, is the helm positioning because it is a deck saloon? Unusual but convenient in a blow or on an offshore passage.
It's advisable for any sailor to learn the basics of health care so they can determine the difference between common reflux and a heart attack. There are simply checks to determine, and this would have saved an emergency response had you known what to look for.
It was mentioned in the narrative that is wasn't common reflux but a more serious type which damaged his oesophagus. It also went on to say that the symptoms are the same as a heart attack. So all in all, I think the response was correct.
@@davepersich3035 If you have medical knowledge you'd know the symptoms are not the same. Hence why captains should have advanced medical knowledge when sailing with crew
@@alexritchie8070 Of course they did. Because you had no medical knowledge so you assumed heart attack. Don't be defensive I am not judging your decision, I'm saying sailors should have more medical knowledge given the difficulties of access when people are hurt.

I wish your colleague a speedy recovery and all the best!

Wishing your mate a quick recovery.
Glad everything ended up well, wish your colleague/shipmate a fast recovery.
Much appreciated
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done the Irish Coastguard and everyone else involved.
Excellent early decision making. Good 24 hr forward planning.

Must of been that bacon and egg roll, seriously well played, hope he makes a good recovery

It was actually the Putanessca I cooked that evening! 😂
Good decision to get the casualty ashore quickly for proper medical assessment.

Thanks. Yes the helm position is because it's a deck saloon. Nice protected helm and great visibility from below, really nice boat.
The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry...

The coastguard and helicopter crew all agreed that I made the correct decision in the moment.
@davepersich3035 Thanks Dave. Yes all emergency personnel agreed that the decision was the correct one.
