Online alarm clock for 2:48 am
While preparing early to check the nets before low tide in the Bay of Islands, set the alarm for 02:48 so the gear and departure plan can stay ready until then. That leaves a useful margin before 03:00 if you need to pull on warm layers, find a torch, or confirm which stretch of shoreline you will inspect first.
Because this check happens deep in the night, confirm that the phone or computer will remain awake until the alarm sounds and keep its volume clearly audible. A browser alarm cannot alert you after its page has been closed or the machine has gone to sleep, so the nets may miss their planned pre-tide check. Leave the alarm visible, connect power if the battery is low, and use a separate alarm when waking at 02:48 is essential to the trip.
After the nets have been checked, protect whatever sleep remains by preparing the return before you leave: put dry clothes within reach, keep the route back clear, and avoid turning on more lights than the task requires. At this hour, a short, organised check makes it easier to settle again instead of staying up through the rest of the night. If others are sleeping nearby, choose an alarm volume that wakes you without carrying through the whole bach.
