I'm still going through the cache of summer photos, and here is one of SV Concordia, which features the Latin motto CONCORDIAM SECTEMUR, which itself features a frequentative verb form, sector (1) I keep on following, chase, hunt from the more familiar sequor (3) I follow, the source of many English words containing the letters sequen or secut, as in sequence, sequential, consequent, consecutive, executive, and prosecute. The motto can be translated LET US KEEP FOLLOWING HARMONY, CONCORD, FRIENDSHIP; the verb, a deponent, is present subjunctive, hortatory, hence "let us." SV Concordia is the home of West Island College Class Afloat based at Lunenburg Academy in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada. You can read about the current voyage here.
