Set the alarm for 2:59 a.m.

Web alarm clock for 2:59 a.m.

With the night boat’s catch unloaded, you can finish securing the crates and leave the landing before 3:00 am. Set the alarm for 2:59 am as a final cue to check that no basket, rope, or personal item has been left near the banca. That single minute is enough for a last look around without turning the end of the shift into another long task.

Before unloading begins, test the 2:59 am signal at a volume you can hear over engines, water, and conversation on the quay. A quick trial also confirms that the chosen sound is distinct from ordinary phone alerts. Keep this browser alarm running and the phone awake: if the page is closed or the phone sleeps, the catch-unloading reminder may stay silent just when you expect it.

As you leave after the catch is put away, expect the air near a Philippine harbour to feel damp even when the night seems cooler. Wipe moisture from the phone before placing it in a pocket or bag, and avoid setting it on a wet crate while checking the alarm. At 2:59 am, a covered spot away from sea spray lets you read the screen and pack up without exposing the phone to more moisture.
