If you geek out on boat gear as much as we do, then you probably like going to boat shows, because . . . where else are you going to find so much of it in one place? The Northern California Power and Sailboat Expo is your last chance to see one on the Bay in ’11, and it’s going on right now at Jack London Square in Oakland. If you’ve been thinking about a purchase, this just might be the right time of year to negotiate a good price as dealers are trying to thin their inventories of both new and brokerage boats. Running through Sunday, the show only costs $10 — kids under 15 are free — and is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. A full list of the exhibitors — and a map of the show space — is at the link above.
