Hi Paul, it happened to be my favorite spot. I visited that place most of every weekend when I was in Yapen. It's a good place for a swim. I guess your picture was taken during the low tide.

Sorry I didn't get what's you mean..." Could you be more specific...?

Dear Paul, I am the Photographic Views Manager for Sailing Directions here at the UK Hydrographic Office and as such I am interested in your photo of Serui Harbour. Would you allow us to use the photo in our Indonesia Pilot Vol III? The photo would be credited to you. Please contact me by using the above email address, I look forward to hearing from you soon. Kind Regards Amy
