Is Vieques Island part of Puerto Rico?

Yes, part of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

Sounds like a trip of a lifetime and you do it all of the time! Very lucky!

I should be so lucky as to do it all the time. :-)

It certainly is the trip of a lifetime however no matter how many
times. If you like boats, beaches and island scenery, this is the
place.

Parts of Vieques were used as a US Navy bombing range until 2003.
None of that is visible along the south shore beaches, towns and coves

We are anchored tonight along the eastern edge of Ensenada Sun Bay,
sout east of Puerto Real. The bay is very scenic and has a terrific
beach.
