Maps and phantom lights from the ocean floor.

I finally got around to making a simple map. I got on a boat and did a "quick' tour of my surrounding area. I am completely surrounded by water. Island 3 is located in the center there and is composed of the 3 tiny little specs of land. I found 2 other spots where land broke the surface. The bottom 2 green dots was a 4x4 island. To the right of island 3 is that light blue area. There actually was some land visible on the surface.

While cruising around I also discovered the strange phenomenon of lights emitting from the ocean floor. This are actually caused by torches which are shining from hidden undersea abandoned mines. They are often only visible at night. I found two. One is located in the bottom left hand corner, and other is near that green spec in the bottom center. This will prob be a future project, sorta like an off shore oil rig.

Island adventure.

I started scouting for what was going to be my next project; to litterally exscavate a giant hole in the desert and build an enormous castle. I started north, with the assumption that I would find something sutiable. The prospects were good, but I thought, "why not check just a little bit further north?" I ended up traveling two full nights, stopping quickly to set up a temporary shelter. On the third night I found myself at the edge of an ocean. I swam out, and after a short journey I found myself on a very small island. That's when I got the idea ... "I wonder how long I can last out here?" And thus has begun what has turned into a week long adventure on this tiny space of land in the middle of the ocean. I've built a small house, a chicken farm and small wheat patch. I then started digging straight down, via a ladder in the corner of my room. I really wasn't expecting much, but to my amazement I discovered one of the best mines I've visited to date, complete with an abandoned mine and frequent slime appearances!
