Set the alarm for 1:46 a.m.

Web alarm clock for 1:46 a.m.

Before handing the copra watch to someone else, you set the alarm for 1:46 am so the drying crop can be covered before the night rain reaches it. Explain where the tarpaulin is kept and which spread needs attention first. That leaves a clear handover before 2:00 am, instead of making the next person work out the routine in the dark.

Because the copra depends on a timely warning, test the alarm sound now, while you are both still there to hear it. Set a temporary alarm a minute ahead, raise the volume, and confirm that the tone can be heard from the drying area. Then reset it for 1:46 am. Keep this page active and the phone awake; otherwise the copra alarm may stay silent when the rain starts.

Once the covering job is assigned, keep a small buffer before the next task due later that day. At this hour, darkness can slow the walk between the house, shed, and drying mat, especially on wet ground. Place the tarpaulin, torch, and tie-downs together before the handover, then allow a few extra minutes after 1:46 am for securing loose edges. The remaining night is easier to manage when the next duty does not begin immediately after the copra is sheltered.
