Coming out from the end of Stonedam Island with Stonedam on the right headed towards Governors Island in the afternoon, this past weekend, 2 jet skis, a 25' bowrider and a pontoon boat all approaching from my port, so I have the ROW, not one would give way to me, I slowed but still on plane to allow the jetskis to pass, the bowrider was also not giving way so altered course and speed just enough so bowrider could also pass. To hell with the pontoon boat, continued on my course and forced them to slow and go behind me, they appeared to give me the sarcastic wave like I was the A-hole. It was never unsafe or imminent that there would be a collision, I would never do that, but this was so ridiculous. 4 vessels not giving way. Nice to see the boater education cert is working.
