After the long boat outing, I had time before dark to go explore on foot around the southwest end of Oak Bay, which is a huge place, although at this low lake level, mostly above water, hence lots of hilly, weedy flats. I went south nearly half a mile, got up close to slickrock cliffs and ravines, and worked my way back west and north, checking out "exits" to higher ground -- just for fun, not that there was anywhere up there I wanted to go. I explored 6 gullies, doing some steep scrambling before hitting technical dead-ends, except maybe for the last two.

Houseboat to lower right of 4103' hill, northerly view as I traipsed around muddy lagoons and finally started uphill a bit.
