Translated to gimp steps I used were:
* Filter | Noise | HSV Noise (Holdness 1, Hue 0, Sat 0, Value 255).
+ Edit | Fade (Darken Only)
* Filter | Blur |Gaussian Blur (2 or adjust to taste). *(1 will create very fine distressing and the larger the blur, the larger the effect)
* Colours | Threshold (adjust to taste). *(I found 160 is a good start, up to 185 for a lacier coastline)
* Fuzzy Select Tool (Threshold 0), click in black surrounding area.
* Ctrl-I to invert the selection
* Fill with White.

Great tut, OldGuy! Thanks for taking the time to write this! It works amazingly well. How do you guys figure this stuff out?! XD

And, thanks, RobA, for converting it to GIMP!

I might have went a little wild. XD
