Our team and our sand castle on the beach of Tortuga:

So that Antonio doesn't look loose in front of Lorella, he had to come up with something. Because Lorella and Antonio belong to the friends of Captain Kane, they ask him for help. He happily agrees to help with his friends.

 

First, the competition must be sabotaged:

 

Competitor 1: When nobody is looking, a banana is placed on the castle. Then a monkey is shown the banana. He runs to the banana full of joy. The castle is destroyed in the process.

Competitor 2: A dog runs after a ball that just happens to land in the castle.

Competitor 3: A wine barrel accidentally rolls onto a castle.

Competitor 4: Somebody put a mole in the castle.

 

Then the judges have to be bribed. Delicious croissants are delivered free of charge every morning.

That should be enough for now. The construction site is secured with a high wooden fence. This is guarded from all sides day and night. They don't want to suffer the same fate as the others. In order for the project to succeed, some people from Captain Kane "convinced" the famous architect Lenardo da Vinzi to help with the construction for free. It goes without saying that Lenardo is not mentioned as a member of the team. He should be happy and grateful that he has finally done something useful in his life. Lorella and Antonio can now build the castle safely.

 

The sandcastle in Venezzi styles looks really nice. Antonio realizes that he would certainly have no chance of winning with his war castle. At least he could talk Lorella out of the gondolas and flowers.

Lorella explains her construction to the judges:

These buildings are Venezzi styles the "Sea Rats Castle Of The Free People". A bridge lead to the "Sea Rats Arc De Triomphe". Then go over a bridge to the main building, the "Sea Rats Castle Of Victory". This is Tortuga!

Thanks, I forgot to register as a free build. I've made up for that now. I was lucky that my Lego Brick order came from the Netherlands today. It only took 7 days. I am happy that I was able to take part in Cat B.

I have been waiting for another order from the USA for 7 weeks.

Beautiful build, that's a proper sandcastle right there! The only thing "missing" perhaps, is a palm tree or a bush or something. Just to add that extra touch of color. Other than that, real nice!
