Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Context: Well , folks , this was our first day without any real new adventure ( which is ok with Kay ! ) , other than for the first time carefully picking our way in between wing dams ( long piles of rock below the surface to slow or direct downstream current ) outside the channel . The objective , of course , is to present as uninteresting a target as possible to the tows roaring up and down the river . 
Question: What may be the reason to travel down the river ?
Output (English): They want to have fun adventures with friends .
