Set the alarm for 2:57 p.m.

Web alarm clock for 2:57 p.m.

As you hand over the task of securing clearance for the small boat to the next person on duty, set the alarm for 2:57 pm so the request does not disappear between shifts. That leaves a brief checkpoint before 3:00 pm for confirming who will contact the harbour office or local authority and where the reply should be recorded.

Because the small-boat clearance may still be pending, choose an alarm sound that matches how the handover is unfolding. A softer tone suits a quiet watch area where the incoming person already knows the background; a more insistent sound makes sense when people are moving around or several duties compete for attention. Keep this browser session active and the phone awake: otherwise, the alarm may not sound, and the boat clearance follow-up could be missed. Use the label to name the exact next action rather than merely repeating the time.

Before leaving the small-boat clearance with your replacement at this midday hour, finish any quick drink and keep food simple enough that it does not delay the handover. If a full merienda or late lunch is waiting, leave it until the responsible person has acknowledged the task and the 2:57 pm alert has been dealt with. Keep water nearby, especially in warm Philippine weather, but place it away from paperwork and radio equipment.
