Well, blow me down, a Ludington woman appears to have arranged a surprise, reminiscent of mermaid legends, for her sailor boyfriend's homecoming.  The timing appears to be off, however, and she's caught with her naked broadsides in his bed in the middle of the night by his sister, prompting a call to authorities.  There will be no seaman for her this day as she did get a ride home from her mom.  The Traverse City newspaper records the event:

Woman stowed away in sailor's bed

Authorities suspect woman climbed through second floor window

TRAVERSE CITY — The jib was up.

A Traverse City woman called police to report a naked Ludington woman, 24, moored in her brother's empty bed Monday [September 19] at about 3 a.m., said Traverse City Police Chief Jeff O'Brien.

"She was naked, lying in the bed waiting for the sailor to get home," O'Brien said.

Officers suspect the woman was under the influence of alcohol when she climbed up to the second story balcony of the man's East Front Street apartment, O'Brien said.

The man, 21 of Traverse City, is a sailor. He was aboard a boat away from home Monday morning, O'Brien said.

The man told his sister he never gave the Ludington woman permission to dock in his East Front Street apartment, O'Brien said. She had cargo in the home, O'Brien said.

Traverse City police officers arrived and ferried the woman to a nearby 7/11 convenience store where her mother picked her up, O'Brien said.

"She was told to get back (in touch) with the brother when he is back in town," O'Brien said.

I wonder if Popeye had the same experience with Olive Oyl.
