Online alarm clock for 3:34 am
Pull yourself away from sorting gear at 3:34 am to check the nets before low tide in the Bay of Islands. Setting the alarm now keeps that job from disappearing among ropes, floats, and other preparations, while 4:00 am gives you a natural reference point for what must follow.
Because checking nets means stepping away from a quiet, focused task, choose a tone that matches how easily you might ignore it. A gentle sound may be enough if the phone is beside you; use a more persistent tone if you will be moving around or working near boat noise. Test the volume once before returning to the gear. This browser alarm cannot call you back to the nets if the browser has stopped running or the phone has gone to sleep, so keep an independent alarm set when missing the tide would disrupt the trip.
Before settling back into preparations, arrange enough light to move safely without flooding the whole area. A low lamp near the gear can preserve the calm of the night, while a torch placed beside your keys is easier to find when the alarm sounds. At 3:34 am, setting these out beforehand avoids searching through dark bags when it is time to head towards the water.
