We have visited Culebra in March 2009 and March 2010. While only two visits to Culebra doesn't make us experts (there are many who post here who have much more familiarity) I will share what we have experienced. We have taken the 9 a.m. ferry from Fajardo both times on Friday and other than a long wait in line for tickets have had no problems. We have gotten tickets and the ferry has been on time. I would advise getting there early, as the line is long, and either bring a couple of water bottles or buy them for a dollar from the guy selling them out of a cooler. You will get thristy standing in line. We have tried to buy tickets ahead of time but haven't been successful either time. We have taken the 6:30 a.m. ferry from Culebra both years, and there have been no lines and few passengers, so showing up at 6:10 or so has worked.
We have encountered a few mosquitoes in March, but not too many. The first year we were there most of the mosquitoes were inside the house -- outdoors was fine, since the breeze kept the bugs down.
Haven't tried camping at Flamenco, but others have suggested digging a hole in the sand under your tent and putting valuables under the tent. We have left things in vehicles (locked) with no problem both years -- as with anywhere else, put things out of sight.
