Archival Revival #2

The year is 2011. One year later this almost-identical scene was photographed from a different angle, and could have been potentially viewed the world over. What's the story?

Paul, when writing a post, there is a menu bar above the text field that lets you do a number of things, such as bold, italicize, underline, etc.  The second to last item is a capital letter A that is underlined with a drop-down arrow next to it, which allows you to change the font color.  I recommend you type what you want to write first (so you can read it easier), then select the text you want to hide, and use that function to change the text to white.  Do a test run first if you want to make sure it works the way you want it to before revealing any answers you don't intend to.

My answer for the picture:

That was a Jewell Island Weekend day trip to Eagle Island, when Google Maps happened to do a satellite image capture of the island with the kayaks on it.  If I remember correctly, one reason for the landing was so that Roger Turgeon could repair his newly-finished wooden boat which he happened to put too close to some rocks.

I recognize that beach, and recall reading "the story" on the site long ago, probably before I even became a member. 

[Dave M.]

This is Eagle Is and the boats are NSPN which appear in the satellite picture on Google maps.

Yep.  I know that one.  Roger seems to keep turning up as a central part of these.

Rob H. and Mary B. were circumnaving Jewell at the time they were "googled", their distinctive boats identified from on high:

 

I was giving Rob and Cathy, who were on their ?first kayak-camping adventure, a guided tour of the Island's highlights:

added satellite imagery

Gary, if you run Google Earth on a computer (not phone) and check Tools, Historical Imagery, you can then use the time slider to look back at imagery from earlier dates. Here's the seagull's eye view of Eagle Island on May 18, 2012: (view full-size)
