Quote - I may have found a clue.  When I switch the procedural terrain to standard terrain the globs are gone.  The procedural terrain is somehow causing the problem.

Hmnnn.  Genius!  It likely has to do with Vue not using the detail from such a distance.  I thought it HAD to be procedural to use Open Ocean.  Would have probably NEVER come to this answer.

And yeah, the tug is moving a bit fast...I'll edit and rerender.  Thanks for the help guys.
