The BMA CQ Rescue team had an early start last Sunday morning, after responding to a mayday call just after 6:30am involving a yacht in distress near Keswick Island. Upon arrival, the crew found the vessel on its side with a man lying on the deck.
“With nowhere to land, our RCO was winched down to assess the situation,” a BMA CQ Rescue representative commented.
The patient was then winched back to the helicopter, where a Doctor and Paramedic provided care. He was found to have broken ribs and cuts and bruises.
The man was flown in a stable condition to Mackay for further treatment, with the quick response highlighting the critical work of the rescue team.
