Lake Mead - Distance From Temple Bar to Gov't Wash

[Mead_Stripers]

I realize there's a lot of water between Temple Bar and Gov't Wash but I was wondering how long of a trek that would be....travelling about 25 mph. I also realize that the Virgin Basin is huge and it can often simulate the conditions of swells that are typically seen in the ocean. Has anyone travelled through the Virgin Basin and experienced these types of conditions? Any recommendations as to the fastest yet safest route through the Virgin Basin? Or should I just avoid the Basin altogether?

Best regards,

Paul
