Yes, your photo. Maine was my immediate guess, but looks like it could be elsewhere in coastal New England, too. You can practically hear the gulls. 
SunriseKayaker’s “A BACK FRIENDLY way of LOADING/UNLOADING a KAYAK/CANOE…” is pure genius. Is this your idea or did you learn it from someone?. This is a take on a common way to load, but the side entry with strap is novel, simple and assuming that the extended bars are solid and the strap doesn’t sag too much, It’s a smart way to load a boat solo… Good one!

This is ONE of the easiest ways to load (and unload) a kayak on TOP of a Car, SUV, or Truck by YOURSELF. (In photo # 1, note that my Yakima bars are offset outward to the right and that I am using a taught 9’ NRS cinch strap) A sequence of 8 photos follows - Click on each of these LINKS in order: http://share.pho.to/B1560/ko/original , http://share.pho.to/B156D/bp/original , http://share.pho.to/B156L/he/original , http://share.pho.to/B156X/vp/original
Thanks for sharing it would be really helpful, especially if you dealing it all alone!
It’s even easier to through a bath mat up there on the side and just shove the boat on that.
BTW, if you want a loading bar but don’t have the type of crossbars that the Thule or Yakima slide out bars will fit, Rhino and Inno both make a loading bar for aftermarket crossbars. The Inno bar is more than just a loading bar, it also has a piece that runs parallel to the car from your cross bars to protect the side of the car.

Yes, I got the idea for my PVC contraption shown above from the Inno loading bar: http://www.innoracks.com/int/products/marinesports/kayak.html#ka01
