Online alarm clock for 8:08 pm
You have only just woken at 8:08 pm, and the boat still needs preparing for an early run through the bar. An alarm at this time gives you a clear point to get up, check the weather, gather the safety gear and start on the deck jobs. With 9:00 pm approaching, the evening can otherwise disappear before anything is ready.
Boat preparation may take you away from the screen, so the alarm can remain in a background tab while you sort ropes or equipment nearby. The browser may reduce activity in that tab, although the alarm should still work while the page remains open and your phone or laptop stays awake. If you close it, or if the device goes to sleep, no alarm will sound, which could leave the boat unprepared for the morning departure.
Working around the boat after sunset is easier when the lighting is arranged before you begin. At 8:08 pm, darkness may already hide loose lines, wet patches and small fittings on deck. A charged torch placed within reach, plus a steady light aimed across the work area rather than into your eyes, helps you see what remains without losing your night vision before the early start.
Common questions
What happens once the alarm goes off?
It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.
Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?
It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.
Can I use this on my phone instead of a laptop?
Yes, it works in a mobile browser the same way, but phones are more likely to lock the screen or sleep, which can stop the alarm from ringing. A laptop or desktop tends to be more reliable for this.
Can I set more than one alarm at a time?
This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.
