You raise or lower the anchor by pressing the spacebar. You can use this to stop suddenly while travelling rapidly at sea. When departing an island, you click "sail" and then also raise the anchor with the spacebar.
To anchor a swim raft, first, choose a location with stable, sandy, or rocky bottom. Use a heavy anchor, such as a sand or mushroom anchor, and attach it securely to the raft's anchor line. Lower the anchor to the bottom, ensuring it’s properly set by giving a gentle tug. Finally, adjust the anchor line length to keep the raft in a safe and desired position, allowing for some movement but preventing it from drifting too far.
To fly lower, press shift while in flight. Or, you can double press the space bar and you will fall to the ground.
