Narrative:
Upon first attempt to land with strong crosswind, a go around was necessary. While starting downwind leg passenger in right seat became ill and started to vomit. The odor, sound and bouncing of aircraft (which made the passenger more ill) distracted my concentration to land. Upon starting flare, I heard the propeller hit the runway and pulled back on yoke while applying full power, but was behind the power band and stalled. This could have been avoided should I have continued to fly the plane and forgot about my distraction. Landed gear up.
