RedactedNarrative: The sailing vessel "Blue Jay" was making way under auxiliary power at 6 knots out of the Thames River and into Fisher's Island Sound at approximately 2300 hours. The vessel encountered swells, just south of the Red N"6BL" off of Black Ledge, approximately three to four feet on her broadside due to heavy vessel traffic and south westerly winds of 15 to 20 knots. The passenger was below decks, seated on the starboard side as we encountered the swells. The passenger moved to retrieve an item on the cabin sole as the boat rolled to sharply to port then quickly back to starboard. The passenger was thrown from the port side of the cabin to the starboard side, striking the navigation station. After an initial assessment of the passenger's condition, it was determined she was conscious and not bleeding but unable to stand due to pain. The vessel "Blue Jay" then hailed the Coast Guard for assistance for an injured passenger. A first responder from a local fire department was brought by boat and then escorted to CG Station New London where she was transported to the hospital.
