Rip Van Winkle wakes in Baytown time warp on Hog Island
Rip awakes 65 years later after a nap near Tabbs Bay in 1942 era Hog Island. Skipper ferries him to Morgan's Point and Barbours Cut as the Port of Houston complex and Baytown La Porte tunnel shift his bearings. He learns Morgan's Point Ferry shut in 53 and the Fred Hartman Bridge rises over the channel. Rip wanders toward a marina seeking his car and a town to explore.
