Set the alarm for 3:48 a.m.

Web alarm clock for 3:48 a.m.

You are handing the catch from the night boat to the next crew, and a 3:48 am alarm can mark the moment they take over the unloading. That leaves a clear handover point before 4:00 am: identify which tubs are already weighed, mention any fish that must be moved first, and pass along the tally without rushing the last details.

Because the catch cannot wait for a missed cue, check the alarm sound now, while another crew member can still hear the test. Set it for 3:48 am, confirm that the volume is strong enough above voices, engines, and crates, then let a short trial signal play. Keep this page open and the phone awake; otherwise, the alarm may not sound and the catch handover could begin late.

Once the unloading changes hands, the cooler air near the shore can be misleading before dawn in the Philippines. If the next crew is moving repeatedly between an air-conditioned storage room and the humid dock, leave a dry towel and light outer layer near the tally sheet. At 3:48 am, that simple placement avoids searching through bags during the handover and keeps the work area clear as the warmer part of the morning approaches.
