I'm an official sweep boat and our company is a First Mate sponsor.
Give it a try!

If there is interest, you can drop your kayak/canoe at the start (where it will be watched). And drive to the finish and park (before the start).
We can give ya'll a ride from the finish to the start (our van can hold up to six). Then you paddle to the finish with no trip back to the start being required.
I have handled it this way for the last few years. I will need to know ahead of time to reserve a spot in our van.

Fat and old, 3+ hours of fairly steady paddling, all downstream.
4+ hours if drunk.
In the water at about 9:30, out of the water by 12:30-1:00
As the sweep boat. I'm in the water about 9:45 and out by 1:30.

Ive have competed in that regatta twice in the past. The cannon ball launch is pretty interesting down the steep slope. I think the last time I did it in around 2 hrs. Cant really remember but took second place. it was a nice event. They served food and a few brews at the end along with some door prizes and music. It was a really good event to meet other paddlers and exchange information. I later attempted to complete the Texas Water Safari. That ended after 44 miles of torture.
