If you hold the string taut for several seconds, a glowing light will appear around the two ends of your bow. Once you've acquired or crafted a bow, you'll be able to shoot wild animals for food and materials. Remember where they are and then pick them just as you're leaving to make them last longer on the seas. Once you know where the food is located on an island, plan your visit accordingly if there are plenty of mushrooms. These are some of the most healing items, not to mention some of the easiest foods to gather. Purple plumpuff mushrooms sprout from the ground on desert islands, while Rustcap mushrooms can be found growing on large tree trunks. Some islands have plenty of mushrooms to keep her satiated, while others might only offer wild animals that she will need to hunt. We don't want Kara dying on us from lack of nutrition. Whenever you make it to another island, immediately start foraging for food.

In the third category I have placed the water level structures. So far I only have the sail but I am, again, only ~halfway through my first playthrough.
