Caleb,

I appreciate your effort to try and pick up Ulibari’s slack but now that I own a H20, I wouldn't have much use for them.

I guess what really bothers me about this is I stepped up and supplied the chips when it was discovered that they were missing from the factory boats when they were uncrated. Ulibari was sweating bullets trying to find replacements and stated he would pay me for them. People get busy, other things come up, and I forgot all about the chips until the next year at San Felipe.

I saw Ulibari hanging with some of his buds at the El Cortez. I approached him, asked if he remembered me from the 16 Nats and reminded him about his promise to pay me for the chips. His buds thought that was pretty funny with lots of laughter and busting his chops but he never reached for his wallet.

I wrote the chips/money off to experience but, after that, I never opened up my spares kit unless it was for someone I’d known for years.

I’d forgotten all about it until reading through this thread. Looks like others have had underwhelming experiences with Ulibari too.
