Sailing Dream Maker - The Taíno Amulets

Sailing Dream Maker

Some voyages are measured in miles. Others are measured in what they ask of your soul.

Junior Wright believed he was sailing toward freedom. After years of restoring Dream Maker with his own hands, the old CT-54 had become more than a boat — she was proof that something broken could be made whole again. He told himself the open ocean would be enough. The wind, the stars, the quiet rhythm of a solo watch. But the sea has little patience for the stories we tell ourselves.

When a sudden storm in the Mona Passage forces him to anchor off the forbidden cliffs of Mona Island, Junior expects only rest and a brief walk among ancient ruins. What he finds instead is a small stone — simple, almost childlike in its carving — that carries the weight of centuries. A turtle. Two letters. And a question that will not let him go: What do we owe to the past when it rises uninvited into our hands?

This is not a story of treasure hunts or easy victories. It is a story of listening — to the wind that refuses to cooperate, to the silence inside limestone caves, and to the quiet voice that asks whether some things are meant to be taken or only witnessed. It is about solitude and the unexpected grace of human connection, about the thin line between reverence and possession, and about the courage required to carry what the sea decides to give you.

Come aboard. The horizon is wide, but the real crossing begins the moment you step ashore.

About the Book

The Story

In the treacherous Mona Passage, where the Atlantic clashes with the Caribbean, retired naval aviator Junior Wright embarks on a solo voyage aboard his lovingly restored sailboat, Dream Maker. What starts as a quest for freedom and exploration turns perilous as a fierce squall tests man and vessel alike. But surviving the storm is only the beginning.

Arriving in the vibrant shores of Puerto Rico, Junior stumbles upon ancient Taíno amulets—mystical artifacts steeped in the folklore of the indigenous people who once ruled these islands. As he sails through the emerald waters of the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, the amulets draw him into a web of mystery, adventure, and danger. Whispers of lost civilizations, hidden treasures, and supernatural forces pull him deeper, forcing him to confront ruthless seekers who will stop at nothing to claim the amulets' power.

Blending the thrill of high-seas navigation with the enchantment of Caribbean legend, Sailing Dream Maker: The Taíno Amulets is the first installment in a riveting series by J.J. Reich. Join Junior on a journey where the wind carries secrets, the waves hide truths, and every horizon promises the unknown.
