BoB was rather a skirmish, nothing more, nothing less. A first phase in the operation Sealowe, not a battle per-se.
You think that if Germany wouldn't have really wanted to start and carry the war in the east, could have not dispose of the english?!! By that time, or shortly after, they've got their droptanks, and that would have changed everything in a BoB phase 1 operation.
Simply, they've stopped it because there was no point in trying to enforce it at that time: Britain was in no way a threat for the continental Europe, and they've rather go east, as the Lebensraum doctrine was stating it. And after that, the russian bear gave them too much trouble to care about the silly brits and their island anymore.. until the americans came decided they want to have a go visit Paris..
