Actually, Edd, if you're on far render distance you can see an archipelago of tiny islands from your spawn island. Swim towards it and through it and head straight along the compass direction you're going in (not sure if its north, south, east or west, but straight through the small islands anyway, and in a straight line along whatever axis you're travelling on) and before the day is darkening you'll come to a larger island with a single tree on it. The island is big enough to spawn aggressive mobs, there's a smallish cave in the middle of the island with exposed coal and there are some caves underground, including the smallest ravine I've ever encountered.
So far I have 16 fish (at last - been living off of zombie flesh and apples), a clock, one bar of gold, some lapis and redstone and a healthy supply of wood, iron and coal (despite accidentally throwing a stack of coal into the ocean and spending half a day diving after it).
No diamonds yet, but frankly I'd give 20 diamonds for three wool. And a few more diamonds for a piece of sugar cane (obsessive over maps, me). I might make a compass tomorrow and go after Edd's goodies (or at least leave a cache of food and boats at the spawn).
Thank you Nexy for ruining my attempt at re-adjusting my sleeping pattern to that of a human.
