Canadian radio amateur aboard damaged sailboat

A Canadian Radio Amateur aboard a damaged sailboat is nursing concussion after being rolled over in the turbulent South Atlantic Ocean but says he has no intention of giving up an unusual solo voyage around the world.
 
Glenn Wakefield VA7MLW of Victoria BC, reported from his 12-metre sailboat off the Falkland Islands in a ham radio transmission layered with static.
 
"This storm is expected to last another three days, so I'll just have to tough it out, that's all I can do here and then once it's over I'll make my way to Stanley, capital of the Falklands." He said.
 
A carpenter with two grown daughters, he sailed away from Victoria in mid-September intending to become the first North American to circumnavigate west-about, or into the prevailing winds that whirl around the bottom of the planet, rather than with the wind as is conventionally done.
 
His wife, Mary-Lou, is keeping a stiff upper lip and updating the official website at home in Victoria.
