It sounds to me like the other vessel initially adjusted course to pass behind you, when you slowed down and turned, he had to readjust yet again. I am betting he was as confused by your actions as you were of his.
It really doesn't matter what the other guy does.... Even if he has right of way. When in doubt of the other boaters intentions, just slow down and if necessary stop. You are responsible for the safety of your own vessel regardless of what the other guy is doing.
