Crossing the Atlantic from West to East

Starting in late April we will be crossing the Atlantic from Annapolis to Palma Mallorca. The passage will be broken into segments: Annapolis to Bermuda, Bermuda to the Azores, Azores to Gibraltar and Gibraltar to Mallorca. We are currently three (all experienced sailors) and are looking for a fourth. You need to have some experience standing watch and know how to sail. I am open to people joining for one segment or more.
