Part 8/9:
As the exploration unfolds, Jerry invites Peter to experience another iconic aspect of the island: the famed Smith Island cake. It is a delightful dessert steeped in history, traditionally made for fishermen's long absences at sea. The cake serves as both a culinary treasure and a symbol of the island's commitment to preserving its history while sharing it with visitors.

His views on life reflect a broader philosophy about the importance of connection to one's land and heritage, painting Smith Island as a place where personal history molds community values.
