That was awesome.

Personal story;

I had a lifeboat crewman back many years ago who specialized in keeping everybody calm. We were on a particularly dicey SAR case one winter day and when we arrived on scene, we started doing what we do; We stabilized the situation, got all the people accounted for and safe and then we started to deal with a disabled boat that I wanted to tow back in. After numerous attempts to hook it up, Joe whispered in my ear "Chief, I can see things getting a little wobbly here".  When I asked him to clarify what he meant       (which kinda sounded like "What in the f**** are you f****ing talking about?" he replied " Things aren't steady, we're losing control"

He was right. We backed off, took a few minutes to calm down, came up with a plan of action and executed as planned.

Ever since then, I've referred to these moments as "wobbly".

Then there's the time I fell overboard and missed the entire Atlantic ocean. Ah, but that's another tale for another day.

Anybody who has spent any time in uniform understands what you're talking about.

Thanks, Steve.  

I'm thinking "wobbly" should have been a key word on my golf course resume'.

Great show. I  wounder how many could not tell the difference from flapping and honking and what is not!

RW-

Made me reflect on how I get some times in the middle of summer. Well done. Thanks for the lesson. I like wobbly.

Thanks, Rick.  Somehow I just can't picture you flappin' and honkin',
