Online alarm clock for 8:42 am
As you finish collecting the crates of green-lipped mussels from Havelock wharf, set the alarm for 8:42 am so you can wrap up and leave without lingering on the jetty. That gives you a clear cue to check the load, gather your gear and be heading away before 9:00 am.
With the mussel crates nearly ready to move, check where your browser’s sound is playing before relying on the alarm. Audio can slip unnoticed to headphones left in a pocket or cab, so play a quick test and set the volume where you will hear it. Keep the browser open and the phone or laptop awake: if either is shut down, the alarm may stay silent and delay your departure from the wharf.
Leaving Havelock early gives you useful breathing room before the next job later that day. Allow a few minutes after 8:42 am for securing the crates and checking that nothing remains on the wharf, then keep the rest of the morning’s buffer intact for traffic, a fuel stop or unloading at the other end.
Common questions
Why might I not hear the alarm?
The tab may have been closed, the device may have slept or lost power, or audio may be muted, blocked, or routed to another speaker. Keep the page open, test browser permissions and volume, and use a separate dependable alarm if waking or meeting the time is critical.
Can I use the alarm as my signal to leave for a ferry or flight?
Yes, as a personal reminder, but it cannot see check-in requirements, queues, cancellations, Cook Strait wind, road closures, or delays on the way to the terminal. Confirm the operator's current advice and set the time with enough margin for the entire journey.
Is this alarm suitable for medicine, cooking, or safety checks?
It may be one reminder, but it cannot verify a dose, inspect food, or monitor a hazard. Follow the relevant instructions and supervise risks directly. Keep a reliable backup whenever a missed alert could affect health or safety, and check the device remains powered and audible.
Will the alarm sound if I switch to another tab?
It can, as long as the alarm page stays open and the browser continues running. Device sleep, a flat battery, silent mode, blocked browser audio, or Bluetooth connected elsewhere may prevent you hearing it. Test the tone first and use a second alarm for anything consequential.
