A 49-year-old woman was rescued from a boat in the Atlantic Ocean Saturday over 12 miles east of Jacksonville, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
Authorities received a report from the captain of a 22-foot vessel about 8:40 a.m. after the woman experienced chest pains and lost consciousness, according to the Coast Guard.
A 45-foot rescue boat was launched from Mayport and the woman was taken aboard and then back to shore where a medical team was waiting.
The woman has not been identified.
