I wouldn't have dropped the sails....I would have cranked the engine to hopefully get pointed in the right direction and then put up more sail.
I'm in North Carolina, so I can think of very few sailing seasons when I haven't hit ground. I've had anchors on halyards and winches many times. But fortunately it's usely mud around here.
