Virginie and Julien, the two cooks aboard the sailing vessel Forel, describe their roles, routines, and backgrounds in separate interviews recorded during Forel's third scientific mission to Greenland.2:35 Both serve rotating legs: Virginie sailed the Lorient-to-Kangiqsualujjuaq crossing and the East Coast leg; Julien covered the West Coast and will return for the final crossing back to Lorient.2:59 Cooking for a crew of 12 in polar waters means managing heavy swells, improvising with locally caught cod, and occasionally preparing Greenlandic specialties including seal and whale.11:52 Julien's path to the Forel project ran through the Tara Ocean expedition (2009–2012), where he worked as cook and photographer under captain Hervé Bourmeau, circumnavigating via New York, Bermuda, the Azores, and Spain while the mission studied coral reefs and plankton.40:37 He later built a traditional sailing canoe in Fakarava, French Polynesia, with local craftsman Ato, funded by a 45,000-euro grant from the Agence des Aires Marines Protégées; the project aimed to revive traditional Pacific sailing but he considers it a failure in that goal.47:34 Both cooks describe the Forel's galley as unusually large for a sailboat.53:06 The crew of roughly 12 has worked together three years and describes the dynamic as a close-knit family under captain Baptiste.1:02:23
