Answer 2

An experienced sailor is sometimes called a 'sea bee'. There is another name for an experienced sailor as well, but I can't remember it.

They are also called "able seamen"

The most venerable term is so well known that it has migrated to other areas beyond sailing. An experienced sailor is also known as an "OLD SALT." The derivation is obvious, especially since before refrigeration, beef and fish were preserved for long voyages by soaking them in brine; so the expression "SEASONED" also comes to mind, but that was not restricted to sailing.

Can also be referred to as a "sea dog".
