Peter,

A tight fitting pfd worn over the skirt will help keep the water out as will
a light waterproof jacket worn over the skirt.

If you were paddling with others, couldn't you have rafted up with someone
and pumped your boat out. Would only take a minute or two if you didn't let
it get too full.

Another option would be to stick a paddle float on your paddle, lean your
weight onto the float and while keeping the paddle in place with your
forearms, use a hand pump.
