Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Context: After lazing around the Wheelhouse for a few nights we headed off to Kande Beach - another camping spot on Lake Malawi but this one very popular with overland trucks , hence packed and loud . The little wooden bar on the edge of the lake , which in this area is like a beach , and the occasional hammock hanging around the place made up for it though - very cool and relaxing ... but after 4 nights , definitely time to move on . We were lucky to jump on a catamaran as crew for an american bloke one day though so had a bit of a liesurely trip around the lake . Oh yes dear friends , we can assure you that this is HARD travelling ! ! ! !. 
Question: Why was it such a great thing to meet an American man ?
Output (English): We were able to work on the man 's twin - hulled boat and sailed around the water .
