Looking just at a map of the exposed islands of Bermuda gives a distorted picture of the extent of the pedestal. The islands are along the southeast edge of a much larger circle of reef. This reef provides some protection from the Atlantic. For instance, when navigating to Bermuda from the north west, it would be disastrous to attempt to sail directly into the great sound. The actual entry is on the eastern side near Saint Georges and you must go around the reef. One marked point on this reef is called Northeast Breaker. I suggest you look for this and related features on an ocean chart, e.g. NOAA 5161, and then revise the description of the Great Sound. You can also see what I am trying to explain by looking at this satellite image
