Default What If #1 Answer

You really don't have great options here. With winds exceeding 60 knots and
building seas along with your dragging anchor, you may end up aground.

1) Cut your anchor line and attempt to motor clear or just drag the anchor.
2) Dramatically lengthen your scope on the anchor and hope for a set.
3) Raise storm jib (probably not possible given time and conditions).
