Your bow is going to catch the wind and tend to turn you stern to the sea.
You can use the 5 gallon bucket or invest in one of the small sea anchors, which are easier to retrieve and store.

Try turning outboard the next time you are out. On smaller boats you can sometimes change your drift angle by swinging the outboard.
