The Mather Aviators and Dauntless Dirigible
The Mather Aviators and Dauntless Dirigible — a blimp-shaped machine powered by a team of four peddlers — was the last team to enter the Willamette River during da Vinci Days’ Graand Kinetic Challenge on Sunday.
The team also had another distinctive honor as the only group that needed to be rescued by the Benton County Sheriff’s Office’s marine patrol boat when their machine became stuck in a shallow portion at the fork between the Willamette and Marys rivers.
“Will you tell everyone we’re pushing you?” asked teammate Marilyn Kurka of Port Townshend, Wash., to marine deputy David Dayton, who threw a rope to the team so they could be ferried to the race’s end at Michael’s Landing.
The team, made up of three kinetic sculpture racing veterans, already had a bump in the road with mechanical problems earlier that morning during the mud bog portion of the competition, but they took the hangups in stride.

The 12 teams competing in the river race also made it through the earlier competitions of the Graand Kinetic Challenge: the road race, dune climb and infamous mud bog race at Crystal Lake. The race was named in honor of Raan Young, who founded the contest in 1993 (which explains the extra 'a' in Grand).
Though the blimp-shaped machine had some professional help to ferry them to shore, other teams had their patience tested along the run.
