Do you follow your plans or the wind

Just back from 2 week cruise. Original plan was Newport to Onset, then P-town, back to Hadleys' then out to Edgartown and then back.
Had some boat trouble first 2 days, then winds from the North, so off to Block Island, then Mystic, Old Saybrook, Hamburg Cove, back to Block, Wickford RI, then home.
We had a great trip, going where the wind, boat and weather powers sent us.
I frequently change plans as the conditions call for. Wondering in how small a minority I find myself.
I used to try to get to my destination, but I find this less wearing on me, the boat, and the Captain.
