They get active this time of year and are probably around looking for food and water. If they are like honeybees they will range a couple of miles.

Keep in mind that I work outside at the golf course but I have been stung so many times this year I have lost count. 7 one days then about twice a week all summer. Yellow Jackets don't even bother me but I got stung by one of those White Faced wasps. Holy crap does that hurt! Pain for 3 days!
No boat, back in the suds.
