Eventually, I asked my daughter to help me look for it and she found it in about 30 seconds. I think women just have better eye acuity than men...especially us old guys.
I have a dozen stories like that. So much so that whenever I drop a small item I call Jeanne. She has eyes like a hawk. I agree that women see smaller items better than men. My Mom was 80 years old and was still threading a needle to sew...without glasses.

No boat, back in the suds.
