What is the central idea of the fourth paragraph of Of Plymouth Plantation?

The paragraph describes the ship trying to continue south toward the Hudson River but encountering dangerous shoals and breakers. Because those conditions made the route unsafe, the passengers and sailors turned back to Cape Cod. Thus, the central idea is that the ship could not sail south to the Hudson and returned to Cape Cod; the shoals and breakers are supporting details.
