We escaped Ernesto, mostly!!

Well, we spent the day at Disney's private Island, Castaway Key. Elizabeth absolutely loved the RAY encounter. They were swimming around everyone and they all got to feed them. It was quite amazing. When we can get the pictures up, I am sure Mom will recap it.
Towards the end of the day, we got the edge of Ernesto. Winds shifted from 15-20 mph to 50-60 mph in about 5 minutes. Mike was snorkeling and we were all on the beach. Instantly, we tried to shield from the rain and get Mike out of the water. A bit scary when the power boats were flipping over and the lifeguards surfboards were skipping across the water.
Everyone was safe in the end and we got back on the boat drenched.
More to come. Looks like we will get into port late because of Ernesto as it moves up, but right now we are in beautiful water and the day is gorgeous.
