Old salt is an old-fashioned term for an experienced sailor, especially a sailing sailor. If you have ever spent time on a small boat on the ocean, you will see how salt from the sea spray will accumulate on your skin, hair and clothing. Therefore, anyone who has spent a lot of time at sea will have a lot of old salt on them.
