I find the same confusion in Meredith Bay. Rather than the NWZ being across the bay, it's at some weird angle which leaves a lot of gray area. I just slow down at the first buoy near Meredith marina, but this could also be better designed.

I rarely travel up to the Long Island bridge but when I have in the past, I generally use C, IF THERE'S NO OTHER TRAFFIC. If there's traffic, I slow down as necessary. My reasoning is since there's no other buoy to draw an imaginary line, C is parallel to the bridge. My wife prefers to use B since that's closest to north on the compass.
As for Meredith Bay, there's no gray area; I don't understand why people make it more difficult than it is. It's easy, there are at least 3 buoys marking the beginning of the NWZ; locate any two buoys and imagine the line connecting them. Once I cross that line, I'm in the NWZ. Simple!
When in doubt, calll the MP, that's what they are there for!
