We dropped a Titan overboard once

We were coming into Providenciales, I was tired and it just went overboard.

The hardest part was locating it. Here you are sailing along and kersplah,,, gone. Now you have to stop the boat, turn around and try to find it. Fortunately, the seas weren't rough and we spotted it in about 10 minutes. I grabbed a fishnet and picked it up.

I liked the fact that the handle floated. Although we have 4 handles aboard, when you're away from a chandlery you don't want to loose anything.

From my experience with the floating Titan I don't think I'd purchase any handle that doesn't float.
