Book Cover Design Brief

I have 5 poetry books to publish all have the main title of Oceans of My Soul then have different subtitles, which are Solo Sailing the South China Sea; Solo Sailing the Indian Ocean, and 3 others I have yet to determine. I have already published the first one and will attach the cover, which needs re-doing for a reprint. I have been given permission to use a photograph of the moon and a universe star pic as I like the idea of using the moon, as it dominates the tides, oceans and weather systems. I like the thought of using the stars because I love to watch them out at sea and the first design of the book I really love, except that I don't have it in 30dpi which is a must. the photo of the boat on the front is a photo of my boat, and I would like to use it too if possible. all that said I am up for some new ideas that you come up with. my poetry is pretty raw at times, but can also be inspiring and I think the book cover needs to reflect this. I am a solo sailor so it has to reflect that too!
I would like the series of 5 books to have covers that are easily recognisable as a series but also are such that people want to pick them up and read. Maybe change the colour of the moon?
I will have a series of 5 books in paperback and e-books printed 6'x9' with approx 116 to 130 pages max I have the back cover info, the photo of the boat and photo of the author. I can get the barcode for the ISBN numbers. I am self-publishing so I do not have a heap of money!

I have had a couple of folk who have kindly reproduced what I already had, that is not what I am looking for. If I am still not clear, please do drop me a line. I am very new to this process.
Thanks
