Anchorages in Gotland & Öland

Open Baltic passages: 20–30 kt westerlies, 60–90nm from mainland

Passages to Gotland (60–90nm from mainland) are open Baltic sailing — real weather with 20–30 kt westerlies typical and 50+ kt storms possible in autumn. Plan weather windows carefully. Stora Karlsö bird sanctuary (world's largest razorbill colony) is closed to landing April 1–July 31. Ferry wash from Gotland ferries is significant in Visby approach.
