What Happened on the Brooklyn??
 

I was out fishing off of SH on Saturday and the next thing you know I see a CG boat cruising fast and blowing his siren off and on. Right behind him his the big party boat the Brooklyn VI from Sheepshead Bay steaming full blast with two other CG boats behind him. They all went around the hook and looked to be heading to the CG station. Does anyone know what happened? The approximate time was 11:30 ish this past Saturday.

I would imagine someone got hurt or there was a fight

i am thinking if someone got hurt they would be transferred to the faster CG boats, or maybe the same if there was a fight. I've heard of boats calling for transport when someone gets hurt or has a heart attack or something. hope everyone was ok!

They found two anglers with braided line and stinger rigs.

2 FDNY boats in the rear and the Coasties leading the escort. Was wondering what had happened.

I heard it was a heart attack.

A woman was drinking too much beer and got sick, as it was a little bouncy on Saturday, somebody thought it was a seizure. Both CG and FD boats arrived, EMS guy boarded and they all went to Sandy Hook at speed. CG no longer transfers such paitents to its boat, at least that's my understanding. When they got to Sandy Hook, the woman suddenly felt much better and wanted to go back out fishing with the Brooklyn. After much thoughtful consideration by the captain, even taking into account her car was in Brooklyn and she was in Sandy Hook, he politely refused.

Tombanjo.
Thanks for the information. I'm just glad it was nothing serious. Sounds like that lady should have to pay all those anglers for a lot of lost fishing time, due to her indiscretion.
