Extra Egypt: Felucca

A felucca is an Egyptian sailboat.  One of the main modes of transportation on the Nile for thousands of years.  They range in size from a small, two-person glorified row-boat with sail, to large almost yacht-sized vessels accommodating overnight guests.
I took this picture on the evening of September 14, 2001, during my stroll around Crocodile Island.  The Nile's beauty and power re-charged my soul, like jump-starting a battery.  Awesome.
