The guy mowing the lawns is killing it, but their roofer is shit.

That thing basically defended itself.

Very defensible. Doesn't look like it can receive supply from the sea though, and those cliffs don't look particularly hospitable to installing a dock somewhere. Also, freshwater supply?

There's a bit of a beach to the right out of frame where supplies could come in. It's not as well defended, though.

Looks windy. My ears hurt just looking at this photo.

I was there a month ago. It wasn't windy at all.
