The rules get even messier when you hit traffic. At some of the popular "choke points", a lot of boats are converging from many directions. You may be the stand-on to the guy crossing from your left, and the give-way for the guy crossing from your right.
It actually happened to me near where Dave's incident occurred. I was going North along Governor's Island towards Meredith, and encountered the "freeway" between Bear Island and Eagle Island. I stopped for the westbound traffic, the eastbound traffic stopped for me and waved me on. I couldn't proceed, he was confused.
