I gave up on marmong yesterday due to the wicked S/SE/E cross chop that is going on down there at the moment. I racked my brains and remembered cockle bay down between speers point and teralba sailing clubs. There's a bit less wind there but it got me into some smooth water that was much more enoyable. The trick to that spot is that it's only open to the SE, the Southerly and easterly wind blown chop doesn't get in there. I dont mind big waves, just not from 3 different directions at once lol.
I went out today in the same spot, firstly on my JP 68 with a 6.2 overdrive, a little out of control so I switched to my 56 wide slalom, it was great unitl the wind died dammit lol
Long swim in and I was shagged by the time I got in. The wind filled it again so I jumped back on the 68 wide but I was too stuffed to do much lol.
Tomorrow I'm thinking of maybe launching at the park near swansea gardens caravan park and hitting the channel and/or sand islands. There's been a lot of east in this breeze so hopefully it will be ok.
. .. flopped around on the little board ( 95) ok in gusts but 'fun' 
I'm not much of a swimmer and after swimming the gear in yesterday I was too tired to sail much ( I was really tired before I went sailing..
) Pity as it wasn't bad when you selected the right gear.
