Set the timer to 43 minutes

Online timer for 43 minutes

As you stay near your phone and watch the ferry cross Wellington Harbour, a 43 minutes countdown gives the trip a clear boundary without pulling your attention away from the water, shoreline, or approaching wharf. It suits a crossing where you remain present and want a simple sense of how much travel time is left.

While the ferry moves across the harbour, the countdown tab may slip behind a map, message, or weather screen. Its visibility changes, but the countdown should continue in the background; keep the device nearby and return to the tab occasionally if the remaining time matters. Sound and background behaviour can vary with browser permissions, battery settings, and whether the phone has muted alerts.

For a Wellington Harbour trip, choose the countdown around the crossing you are actually making rather than trying to fit the journey into a fixed window. Allow more time when a strong northerly or southerly affects conditions, and less when your route or stop is shorter. If the ferry arrives early, stop the countdown; if it is still under way when time expires, treat the alert as a check-in and keep following the crossing.
