Yep, food bonus beats everything. Even on archipelago map. If not for the game, gold loooks tempting. Still two moves is a long way... IMvHO, starting tech rush might play a role in the game but not a decisive role by all means. Early expansion is much more important. Besides, there are 2 ol' good BGs to lose.

But I'll move the settle 1 tile NW since forest chop can be very handy for the Granary here and wasting these 10 shields might be a mistake IMO. On the other hand, there might be iron on that hill where I'm going to settle thus making connecting/disconnecting iron trick impossible. So, really don't know. Still, I would move the settler just to take a good look around. Then, if there is no food bonus around the gold hill tile, will settle on the hill NW of the current location.
