Why couldn't Sauron see?
When Frodo puts the ring on at the Seat of seeing he is almost caught by Sauron's gaze, so why does he put it on again a few moments later to escape to the boats, surely Sauron will be still searching the area? Surely he would be caught? Also Sam puts it on in or on the outskirts of Mordor, Gandalf warned them about wearing it, but it didn't seem to be that dangerous, as Sauron couldn't find them when he had nailed down the area and even in or outside Mordor!

i seem to remember reading somewhere that gandalf explains that he used a spell of some sort to divert or hinder the gaze of the Eye. i could be wrong though

Yep, I recall reading something like that too. Or then it's my wild imagination...

Another thing is that at about the time Frodo and Sam entered Mordor that Sauron was waging war against Minas Tirith, Lothlorien, and the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain. His efforts were concentrated there; and he thought that someone in Gondor had the Ring. He was not looking to his own lands. Quote:

ya i agree with all the replies .
but i also think that the dark lord could not see frodo when he put the ring again while escaping the boats because he was not as high up when he was on the high seat so the eye of the dark lord could not catch him. just a guess maybe it can be wrong?
