This is a draft (I'll probably edit it in place) of what I'm working on to post to CFB before /u/hythloday1 puts up her long study. Please let me know if things don't make sense or I need to explain things in better ways.
Review and History. The Port of Minneapolis is the northernmost port on the Mississippi River System. Located near the convergence of the Mississippi and the Minnesota Rivers, the Port of Minneapolis is about 17 nautical miles upriver (20 kilometers or 12 miles northwest by air) of its sister city, St. Paul. Seat of Hennepin County, Minnesota, the Port of Minneapolis and St. Paul form the Twin Cities conurbation.
Our Kabekona Bay is a sheltered 1,000 acre bay on the west end of Leech Lake, the third largest lake in Minnesota. With 112,000 acres of water and 230 miles of shoreline, Leech Lake is a world-class fishery, but its vast waters can be overwhelming to some fisherman. It can be rough and intimidating, keeping some fisherman on shore during windy weather.
