Anchor not working?

[Hooch]

I know i'm doing this wrong....but I made a single temporary rock anchor, deployed it on my raft, but it's not stopping or slowing down. Do I need several anchors or something? I am kinda scared to check out some islands when the raft is still moving. How do you stop the raft?

Bucket-type with rocks in it....

You gotta place it down onto the foundation, pick it up and then throw it into the water.

He means, you have to ATTACH the rock bucket anchor to an edge tile of your raft FOUNDATION first, then click on it again to pick it up and throw it over the side. To release it later, you have to click on it again to detach and throw the rope attachment over the side. The rock bucket anchor is lost once detached after a deployment, so you have to make more of them if you choose to continue to use them instead of making the permanent anchor. If you use them, may I suggest that you attach several of them ( on the different corners of your raft ) and reinforce those foundation tiles so the shark cannot destroy those tiles with the anchor buckets on them before you have time to defend and/or repair those tiles. That way, with the buckets already in place, while you are managing your sail and paddle, to cozy up to an island, all you have to do is run to the bucket closest to the island and throw it onto the island or into the water near the island, without losing time trying to orient and attach it to a foundation tile. By using two bucket anchors, one on each corner of the island side of your raft, you can usually keep your raft pinned firmly against the island even in a storm. Even though I have a permanent style anchor, I still often employ bucket anchors to help orientate and hold my raft in place just the way I want it at the islands, and especially the jutting rock reefs, I visit. Also, I don't think bucket anchors will stop your raft in deep water, but I am not sure about that aspect.
