SAUSALITO, Calif. - A man swimming in the buff along
the shoreline is causing a stir where tourists stroll
along the waterfront and dine in restaurants
overlooking San Francisco Bay.

The skinny-dipper has shocked diners and prompted
complaints to police.

"He makes fly-bys," City Manager Dana Whitson said.
"Usually, people look for seals. Some of the diners
are kind of surprised."

Sausalito police Detective William Fraass said the
department has received at least two reports in the
past three weeks of a man swimming au naturel in the
afternoon near the Spinnaker restaurant and
Schoonmaker Point Marina.

"It is a rarity. It is just another call for service
but it made our eyebrows go up when we heard the call
over the radio," Fraass said. "We don't get many
naked-people-swiming-in-the-bay calls."

Police have unsuccessfully attempted to catch the
swimmer bare-bottomed.

"We are still looking because we want to talk to him
and see what is going on," Fraass said. "We want to
inform him of the calls from the public and get his
side of the story. Right now, no laws have been
broken, but we are still investigating."
