Set the alarm for 8:13 p.m.

Web alarm clock for 8:13 p.m.

While preparing to bring your catch into the evening port, you set the alarm for 8:13 pm before the final approach demands your attention. That gives you a clear cue for checking the landing area, securing loose gear, and getting the catch ready for unloading before 9:00 pm. Setting it early also means you will not be handling your phone when the harbour gets busier.

Your arrival may be quiet or full of engine noise, so choose the alarm sound to match the conditions around the catch. A gentle tone can suit a calm berth where you only need a discreet reminder; a more persistent tone is safer when wind, motors, and dock activity might mask the first alert. Keep the page running and your phone awake, because the catch could reach port without an audible reminder if the browser is closed or the phone goes to sleep.

As the harbour darkens, lower the screen brightness enough to reduce glare while keeping the alarm controls readable. Use a warmer display setting if your phone provides one, and angle the screen away from deck lights or reflections on the water. A brief glance at the large time display is more practical than repeatedly checking small controls during an evening approach.
