Way out of my league here, but this is why I'd prefer a longer/leaner boat...with enough of a weather warning you could punch it up to 9 or 10 knots for a couple days to skedaddle out of the way.
Plan B would be to slowly motor into it. Plan C would be to lie to a drouge. Plan D would be a sea anchor.
