Islands/Ocean

Hey all, I'm new here and I'm not sure if this has been asked before... but doesn't hurt trying....

I am trying to create a shot where the camera flies over an ocean with some islands. I am using a polygonal plane with a sea shader as the ocean, stretched out to the max. The problem I am having is that I want to create islands, but if I use Artisan to mold and paint some polygonal islands, the points at which the island object touches the sea plane is kind of rough, and the island doesn't blend in at all with the ocean. I was also wondering if it were possible to create an "infinite" plane so that the ocean could extend out to the horizon line , and also create a sky that would move along with the camera. I really need help and would greately appreciate ANYTHING at all. Thanks!
