This is an interesting question, because if we look at the poem carefully I am not too sure that the speaker is merely following a "whim" as you describe it in your question when he states his desire to go back to the sea. If we have a look at the way he describes his desire, it is almost as if it were a compulsion rather than something as paltry as a "whim." Consider the way that each stanza begins with the opening refrain: "I must go down to the seas again..." This speaks of something that is somewhat stronger than a mere whim. Clearly, the speaker is feeling incredibly restless and intensely desires to return to the sea, however I would argue that the "Sea Fever" that he suffers from is actually something like a compulsion rather than a mere idea or capricious thought.
