Web alarm clock for 5:19 a.m.
While you are halfway through loading vegetables onto the boat, set the alarm for 5:19 am so you can stop work and check the tide before continuing. The alert gives you a clear break point without making you keep glancing at the time. With 41 minutes remaining before 6:00 am, you can judge which baskets still belong aboard and leave enough room to secure the load.
Because the loading may keep your hands and attention occupied, keep this alarm running on a device that will stay awake until 5:19 am. Check that the sound is loud enough to carry across the landing and that the volume is not muted. If the browser closes or the device sleeps first, the alarm may not sound, and the vegetables could still be moving aboard when you need to pause for the tide.
Before returning to the vegetable baskets in the early morning, have a little water and choose something simple to eat if you are hungry, such as pandesal or a banana. Save a heavier Filipino breakfast and a hot drink for after the boat is loaded and secured; at 5:19 am, a quick pause is easier to fit around the work than a full meal.
