Drop a sea anchor off the bow.

Reduce speed and head into the waves at a 45-degree angle.Panic and call for help. If you have a radio, it's even better.
Try to shove off with a paddle or boathook.
Deploy a storm anchor (sea anchor) from the bow; something that will slow the boat's drift downwind. Something like a small drogue parachute in the water. The wind will cause the boat to drift, and the waves to rise; the storm anchor will slow down the drift, and keep the boat pointed into the wind. Bow-on is the safest direction for your boat to meet the waves. Otherwise, the wind would tend to push the boat sideways, and you could easily capsize.
Furl your sails, lower the mast, keep low (you will be the highest point, otherwise, and be at risk for a lightning strike), secure any loose gear, turn into the waves, and secure your flotation device. If the boat capsizes, stay with the boat.
The boat will probably rock back and forth, and you don't want people to fly off deck.
