The colonists intended to land in Virginia, but they didn't land in Virginia. However, after 66 days at sea, storms and winds blew them off course, causing them to drift. The members of the Mayflower planned to explore the mouth of the Hudson River after spotting modern-day Cape Cod. However, heavy seas continued to wreak havoc on the ship. They returned and stayed at Cape Cod, but they didn't return and stayed at Cape Cod.
The Pilgrims explored Cape Cod and then settled on Plymouth for their plantation for the next few weeks.
