hooked,
Might want to look into using a sea anchor, or a make shift version of one, such as a line attached to a canvas bag, or a even pail for that matter. Once it fills with water upstream, or upcurrent of you, it will help slow your speed over bottom. They are designed to be used in the worst open ocean conditions to slow baremasted sailing vessels from being hurled down the face of a wave into the trough. Think of it as the chute on the back of the shuttle. If the current is >6 knots, even this will not slow your drift enough for staying in a particular target area however. Good luck.
