Inside JBS Offshore...

[redhotsommer]

Friday night at Matey's, I ended up talking to Joey Skrocki, throttleman for JBS. As they were running a skeleton crew for the weekend, he asked for our help as a potential towboat should they break and as a platform for one of their guys to shoot some pics and vids of the race. Of course I said yes, and, even though they did end up with a bit of a mechanical issue, I am somewhat thankful I did not have to tow them in! Anyway...after the post-race madness had calmed down, Michelle and I got a cockpit tour of the JBS turbine Mystic. All I can say is...UNREAL. Joe, Brian, Joey and Jeff could not have been nicer...hung out on their toterhome Saturday night and they gave us a ride to Matey's in their Rhino. Way cool for sure. Here's some pics:

Time to trade in the 35.

I'll talk to Michelle, but I have a feeling the answer will be a resounding NO. :)

I'll talk to Michelle, but I have a feeling the answer will be a resounding NO. :)

I suggest discussing this after Michelle has had several sailor jerrys. I guarantee you will be sporting a 42 with #6's and 1000's!! :cheers2:

Thanks once again Mike and Michelle for taking me out during the race to shoot some pictures and video...I know it was a pain to do and miss a portion of the race for us...keep in touch and follow us at the races! Thanks for the awesome hospitality!! Joel:cheers2:

[redhotsommer]

Anytime Joe! Our pleasure!

[Big Time]

Very cool! Sound like a great bunch of guys.

[Payton]

Hey , that was cool

[POWERPLAY33]

I've met a few good crews over the last few years. Met the JBS crew in St. Clair a few weeks ago. First class crew and all around good people! I put them up there with Tom Abrahams crew from Reliable!!!

[Ratickle]

But Jeff didn't let you take it for a little spin?


Like maybe Chicago and back or something?????


Maybe next time....:sifone:

[Beast1]

I thought that you were the tow boat. That means you help them back if something goes wrong, not pass by and wave once they are already back in.......:bump:

That is sweet!
You missed a spot on your chin.. not sure if anyone mentioned it:bump:
