No it doesnt. Experince does not create nor equal wisdom. Most times a
person is only destined to simply repeat the same mediocre choices as
before. Just because a person has worked 12 years running a WalMart
cash register doesn’t make them polite, any good at operating a cash
register, or a candidate for a managerial spot. And do goes the
ignorant coonass in the GOM.... experinced seaman or simply a one
trick luck idiot who can not cope outside a narrow window of
opperation?

Experience does not create ability or judgment. Experiences allows the
opportunity for learning.
There are two phrases that scream inept: 1) “…reportedly the victim
had a life time of boating experience…” and 2) “…she followed her life
long dream to bla bla….” Both spell amateur destined for destruction.

People like Zac will make port from adventures, and perils, and
discoveries with new experiences and character.
