You are at the southern edge of a large pond in the middle of Privateer's
Park in Pirate's Cove.  The water in the pond is crystal clear, through
which you can see a rocky bed that seems to be only a handsbreath beneath
the surface.  A stone embankment that surrounds the pond is to the south,
preventing you from climbing out.  The pond stretches to the northeast,
east, southwest, west, and northwest.  A small island lies to the north.  
A carp is swimming around here.
A mallard duck is swimming in the water here.
