We eventually figured out that we weren't going to be able to paddle against the storm but could either allow the storm to push us to the opposite side of the lake or cut across the lake at a 45-degree angle get to the shore and walk the boat back along the shoreline. We made it doing the second option but it was scary because we had not life preservers and my friend couldn't swim.
