Island time

We've been tucked into a cozy marina for the past 2 nights because the wind has been gusting into the upper 20s to 30.  The holding in some of the anchorages here is not the greatest, being grassy and/or coral based.  Hard to get the anchor to bite well, especially with the gusty wind, so we have opted to spend a little money for a good night's sleep.  Having unlimited power and water and pump out available is really nice as well.  We've gotten the inside of the boat cleaned, at least temporarily.  It never seems to stay that way for long.

Tom has ordered some boat parts delivered here (general delivery, Islamorada), but we're still waiting on one for the dinghy motor.  It was supposed to be shipped several days ago but only just left the warehouse yesterday.  Can't go too far from here until that gets in.  Meanwhile we are just getting more and more "keysie," functioning on island time.  If we get one project accomplished each day we're satisfied that we've been productive enough.  We are trying to walk a few miles every day though to get some exercise.  And we will soon have to start moving back to Biscayne Bay to work at the music festival on Virginia Key in early February.

Does anybody know what this plant is?  It is growing at the marina where we are staying, apparently planted, not native because this is the only place we have seen it.  Very peculiar.  The whole thing starts out looking like the base of the fruit stalk, but as the berries mature, the stalk opens up from the top and the berries fall off a few at a time.
