A Coast Guard rescue boat crew from Station Cape May was launched with one nurse and one emergency medical technician to assist in the transport of the woman.
They arrived on-scene in the Delaware Bay so the rescue crew could perform a boat-to-boat transport in calmer seas.
he woman was transported to Coast Guard Station Cape May unconscious and on a ventilator and taken to Cape Regional Hospital in Cape May Courthouse, N.J., by emergency medical personnel.
