gyork Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfolster Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfolster Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 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.

Dan Foster Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I recognize that beach, and recall reading "the story" on the site long ago, probably before I even became a member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave M. Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 This is Eagle Is and the boats are NSPN which appear in the satellite picture on Google maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prudenceb Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Yep. I know that one. Roger seems to keep turning up as a central part of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyork Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) 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: ?School Bus Edited April 11, 2020 by gyork added satellite imagery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Foster Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) 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) Edited April 11, 2020 by Dan Foster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
