> boats going one direction stay to the right, the opposing direction stays to the left.

Wouldn’t that put them head-on? If a southbound boat stays to the right (west side) of a channel and an opposite direction boat stays left (also west side), that seems worse than everyone staying right.

You're flipping the frame of reference for each case which is what makes it confusing. Staring up or down a waterway, opposing traffic are on opposite sides (left or right). From each boats perspective, they are on the right side.
