Yes, in some "flophouse" as they say. They only needed some place to hang
around until their ride home arrives. Such spots below $25 or so will
disappear as the development sprawls.  I don't even understand why did they
paddle that far south, still have to finish the book. Most people don't
paddle lower than La Paz, there is already nothing there for kayakers.

Oh, that would be perfect :-).   For me, there is already too much of
infrastructure in Baja.  Don't need anything there, but bus connection.  It
is probably doomed too,  since they prefer gringos using cars - this is
better for local economics, especially for traffic police ;-)...
Good news is that Mexican government has abanoned or at least suspended
plans for "Pacific Ladder" (thanks to environmental groups).  According to
that plan, marinas were to be tucked in every 50 kilometers or so all the
way up to San Felipe.
