You need a sea-anchor.
Basically a large parachute looking device made of heavy canvas.
Works wonders at sea. It relies on the fact you can't drag a big
object through water without a hell of a lot of resistance.

A sea anchor only slows your drift and keeps the bow headed into the
wind. It does nothing to keep you in one spot. Sea anchors are for the
wide-open sea - not lakes.
Try one in a 70 mph gale on Lake Powell and it will merely take 5
minutes longer to hit the opposite shore. And some of the slot
canyons are barely wide enough for a boat to squeeze into - no room
for anchoring of any sort - you need to look for trees instead, and
there aren't many of those....

Does it work on a river? Say the Colorado, where you are
trying to anchor in just a temporary man made wide spot?

Did anyone else see the video from San Francisco Friday 10th?
I missed most of it, and what I could see I couldn't identify
the type of Jeep involved [looked like it may have been a
blue Libby]. Some woman in San Francisco was speeding on
Fulton at over 100, and managed to whack a curb and launch
her Jeep over a wall and out onto the sand almost to the
waterline at Ocean Beach. The Jeep was rather mangled...
