Looking at the map, I'm much closer to Bayfield...

Its all good Squidd.  Minnetonka is OK, the north side of the lake is pretty good size, there can be lots of boats on it during the weekends. You do have to dodge other boats some times. Stay off the lake 4th of July weekend as it is just insane out there. You can sail around Big Island, gets a little narrow in spots. There are a few racing clubs on there too. Ones I know that are well organized come out of Wayzata Yacht Club and Minnetonka Yacht Club.
Its nice to to get out during the week if you can. Start at 4 and most folks are still at or on their way home from work, have the lake pretty much to yourself. Another nice thing about being in the boat club is you get 20% off charters in Bayfield, 10% if you have been a student of NBSS. Of course it is probably a bit of a drive for you to sail on Minnetonka coming from Wisconsin. Feel free to PM me any other questions or anything.
