The US Coast Guard medevaced a crewmember from the 'National Geograhic Venture', en route from Pichilingue to Seattle, approximately 15 miles offshore of Coos Bay, Oregon, on April 20, 2025. Coast Guard Sector Columbia River watchstanders received a report from the cruise shp at 6:38 a.m., stating, that a 30-year-old male crewmember was suffering from excessive vomiting and shortness of breath. The watchstanders consulted with the Coast Guard duty flight surgeon, who recommended a medevac via helicopter. At 8 a.m. a MH-65 Dolphin helicopter from the Coast Guard Air Station North Bend rendezvoused with the 'National Geographic Venture' west of Coos Bay, and successfully hoisted the patient to the helicopter. He was transported to Bay Area Hospital in Coos Bay in stable condition.
