If Sauron's physical body was destroyed with the fall of Numenor, how did he manage to retain the Ring?

I agree with Angmar's interpretation of the statement in Akallabeth- "There he took up again his great Ring...". He left his ring at home.

Perhaps he had a bad feeling about taking it with him (I'm sure he had a bit of forsight like other Ainu).

He could still draw upon its power, not to mention that his errand in Numenor was one that called for cunning rather than sheer power.
