That looks like a neat little drum set.
I think "Vagabonds' " works better if there are more than one of them

Seas were 2.5m (8 feet) and the wind was in excess of 30kts,

Oh. LOL. OK.
I will say though, that I've felt worse in 6-8' seas on our ferry a few miles out on the crossing than in the 20+ seas in the middle of the Atlantic, because a big heavy motorized thing lumbers along through the water and not with the wind, and it moves completely differently. And if you're not able to keep an eye on the horizon, that's a recipe for ick.
And yeah, if you already had a 'bug' that wouldn't help.
Best definition of seasick I ever heard was 'first you're afraid you're gonna die and then you're afraid you're not'.

You took flying lessons? How far did you progress? Were you close to soloing?

I had my student permit & 16 1/2 hours in the C-172 and then the instructor bailed and left for a better job out west with no notice. I'd have to start all over. I'd love to, but you can't on the island anymore. They stopped offering any lessons when some other student pranged a plane or something. And now our air-charter service is kinda messed up because bureaucratic politics.
