Model "snapping" to path during Tween instead of tweening smoothly

Hi! So, I have a model I’m trying to tween across a path I set, and instead of tweening smoothly, it appears to be “snapping” to the paths. It’s really hard to explain it, it’s better if you just see it for yourself:

viking boat

My Code 
local BoatSpeed = 60

function PropelBoat(EndPoint)
	local Distance = (VikingShip.PrimaryPart.Position - EndPoint.Position).Magnitude
	local Goal = {}
	Goal.CFrame = EndPoint.CFrame
	local Tween = Lib.CreateTween(VikingShip.PrimaryPart, Distance/BoatSpeed, Goal)
	Tween:Play()
	Tween.Completed:Wait()
end

VikingBoat.Enable = function()
	for i,v in pairs(VikingShip:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA('BasePart') and v ~= VikingShip.PrimaryPart then
			SharedLib.Weld(VikingShip.PrimaryPart, v)
			v.Anchored = false
		end
	end
	
	while true do
		wait(10)
		PropelBoat(BoatPath.Stop1)
		wait(10)
		for i = 1, 16 do
			local EndPoint = BoatPath:FindFirstChild(i)
			if EndPoint then
				PropelBoat(EndPoint)
			end
		end
		PropelBoat(BoatPath.Stop2)
	end
end

What can I do to solve this?

After review, I’m almost positive it has to do with this line in the code: Tween.Completed:Wait().

This is making the Tween stop along each “node” before continuing to the next node. I don’t want this to happen, but I’m pretty stumped on how I could fix it.

Okay, after doing some research I managed to solve this myself. The issue was I wasn’t setting the EasingStyle to Linear.

Your Easing Style appears to be set to Sine.

A linear easing style would stop it stopping and starting at each block.

Not sure what tween module (Lib) you are using but your TweenInfo needs to include TweenInfo.new(..., Enum.EasingStyle.Linear)

The module is my game’s library for commonly used functions. All the functions inside it are my own.

The function before the edit:

ClientLib.CreateTween = function(Object, Wait, Goal)
	local Tween = Vars.TweenService:Create(Object, TweenInfo.new(Wait), Goal)
	return Tween
end

After the edit:

ClientLib.CreateTween = function(Object, Wait, Goal)
	local Tween = Vars.TweenService:Create(Object, TweenInfo.new(Wait, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), Goal)
	return Tween
end
