Not that many guys carry anchors, but would something like that help?

What about jumping in the water to swim and just tow your kayak? Provided that you are in good shape and have a wetsuit on.
An anchor would probably cause more problems than it would be worth. A drift chute on an anchor trolley could help if you had given up on trying to reach shore for a time. The Drift Chute would slow you down, and by positioning it, on the anchor trolley, at the bow or stern you would become less of a sail. There is lots of Bull Kelp, that stretches out a long way from shore, on the South side of LJ that you could possibly tie up to also.
