A poem by Destin Hockaday, guest of the Beach Plum Inn's 2013 American Heroes Saltwater Challenge

I am in a place...

where natives treat you like natives,

treat you like neighbors,

greet you with favors.

 

A place where a drive-thru means lunch at a friends house,

Can you guess where I am?

 

I'll give you a hint the scent of sense can not be earned with cents,

A place where one forgets about complacency needs,

start fishing with ease,

not to mention inspiration is free.

 

I'll tell you where I am.

 

People in this harbor don't harbor negative vibes,

they instead cast lines of respect and friendship...

you WILL bite!

 

The people of this island are veterans for veterans' hope.

And I hope it remains.
