Yeah, Dye + river are arguments for the jungle site. Unfortunately, we won't really have time to scout the area if we want to remain efficient..
The timeline IIRC:
EOT75, Galley and settler are born
T76 Settler loaded
T77 Settler unloaded
T78 City F founded
Of course we can spend one turn moving back and forth, but it has a clear cost. If that island is really an island founding the city will increase our trade route commerce from 5 to 12..
