Propping their elbows on the fence, three buddies watched Matthew Martelli carve the base of a 12-foot-tall sand pirate and offered hometown encouragement.
"Matthew, you're going too deep there," teased Bob Otolo, 54.
Not bothering to glance up, Martelli shot back, "Thank you." His friends cackled.
Martelli, 50, grew up in Revere, and his friends planned to trek to Revere Beach daily through Saturday as he tries to outsculpt nine professionals from across the country, all vying for the $10,000 grand prize in the New England Sand Sculpting Festival.
10 grand? Hey Glen, let's figure out how to make the Millenium Falcon out of sand.
