Standing on the desolate shore of the island, you shiver at the cold wind
blowing off the ocean.  The water is gray and featureless in every
direction.  There are huge rocks protruding from the sea just past the
beach, making it impossible to swim out from here.  The dense forest that
covers most of the island reaches all the way to edge of the beach.  
     A raw hunk of red herring has been dropped here.
