Headed to and Headed for

1. We headed to our holiday destination.
2. I was headed to Greece to meet my wife.
3. He was headed for the storage area.
4. The British fleet of 27 sail in two divisions also headed for the Mediterranean.

Is there any difference between "headed to" and "headed for", "headed" and "was headed"? Thanks.

They are very similar but not the same. "head for" means go in the general direction. "head to" means head for a specific point.
