A five knot current is sure a difficult situation!

If you can warp the boat around to the end of the dock and set out on a
broad reach and actually make headway against the current, then you'd be
fine.

You're smart to think of a bail-out maneuver, but the situation isn't
clear enough to me to suggest one.
