11.01.2022 3rd August 2020 - Today we replaced the paddle floats and painted the nuts and washers. Shipwright Bruce Hobson and Lee, were busy caulking and moving trestles, whilst Bruce started on replacing one faulty plank, the only one he found in the entire hull. Greg H has been working on revamping the PA system.... Andrew C has removed the firebars and cleaned out the firebox plus helping out the shipwright from time to time. Jeff L and Frank T assisted today with replacing the paddle floats and painting.

09.01.2022 12/8/2020 - PS Ruby went back into the water this am. All good. Ruby will be passing down through Lock 11 at 10 am on Saturday 15th August, then at 2.30pm, through the raised span of Abbotsford bridge, excellent opportunities for the public to view the boat doing her thing.
