boating etiquette?

Thanks for your input. Today at the Governor's Island bridge there were about 20 boats on each side of the bridge and about four boats from one side would go through until, it seemed, someone on the other side thought there was a large enough space to get through and then everyone on that side would follow. My father and I were curious about the "etiquette" when there is that much traffic because it seems like it would take a long time to alternate boats with that many waiting to get through but it does seem to make the most sense. It is helpful to hear everyone's opinions.
