I don't know if this is too late, but you might want to PM scotchwater. He know's that area.

Have a fun trip.

Jim, as New Hampshire said, don't know if its too late, but I just got home from Mead and you should have beautiful water the rest of the week. If you're staying in South Vegas area, I'd launch out of Callville Bay, it's a lot shorter drive than to Boulder Bay (Hemmenway Launch). Either way, since you know where the narrows are, go through them and when it opens up you're in Virgin Basin. You can either go to an almost immediate left and back into a cove that is about half the size of Havasu, or I'd just go right for about 3-5 miles and stay about a quarter mile off shore and just turn her off and float. Most boats come into Virgin Basin and go North to the left up to Temple Bar, so going South along the shore line kind of puts you into
"no mans land". On the days you'll be there, you'll be lucky to see a boat go by in the distance every two or three hours. Put your bimini up, ski when you want, but as long as you stay a little ways off shore and come back to the general area, you won't even have to anchor.

And I almost forgot, you CAN'T go from Willow to the Dam on Sundays or Mondays, it's CLOSED! There's a sign and people ignore it, but the rangers don't and it will cost you a fortune!!!

Hope you have a blast!
