50%?

I took my first lap around long island in my new boat. Not busy at all. I passed by 4 boats, head to head, in buoyed channels. 2 of the 4 reduced speed to headway speed, as I did all 4 times, and 2 did not. They were a max of 100 ft away. Fortunately it wasnt a problem. As a newbie on Winni I am wondering if this will be what I should expect? Will the 30 footers just blow it off too. In 17 ft of tin I've gotta take that pretty seriously.
