Web timer for 176 seconds
As you stay beside the boat and help passengers put on their life jackets, set the countdown for 176 seconds and keep watching each person. That window suits a small group already gathered at the boarding area, where you can check straps, buckles, and fit without stepping away from the activity.
While you continue assisting passengers, keep the countdown tab visible on your phone. Closing the tab or browser may stop the visible countdown or prevent its alert, depending on the device and browser settings. If you need another screen for a passenger list or weather update, switch apps without closing the page, then return to confirm that the countdown is still running.
With everyone nearby, use the signal as a checkpoint rather than the instant the boat must leave. Keep a short buffer afterward for one loose strap, a child needing help, or a passenger arriving from the pier. This leaves the next activity—boarding, a safety reminder, or departure—less rushed around a busy Philippine dock.
Frequently asked questions
What could make fitting the life jackets take longer than this countdown?
More children, unfamiliar buckle styles, or passengers carrying bags can add time. Rain or movement at an exposed Philippine pier may also slow each check, so let the signal mark a review point and continue until every jacket is secure.
What if everyone has a life jacket on before the countdown ends?
Use the remaining time to check that straps lie flat and each jacket matches the passenger’s size. You can then prepare the group for boarding while keeping everyone together beside the boat.
