Since our AIS is new, we have been tracking ourselves on Marinetraffic.com and have told everyone who cares to do likewise.  Presently we appear to be frozen north of the Minos Bank near Beausoleil Island.  

Several folks have let us know about this anomally as well.

So I have checked our AIS diagnostics and we are transmitting. We can also see other AIS equipped vessels.

From the marinetraffic.com website, I have learned that they use independent folks with AIS receivers to transmit AIS data to marinetraffic and then marinetraffic posts the data on their website. It doesn't appear that they have any receivers near us, which doesn't surprise me as a receiver needs a stable internet connection to transmit the AIS data.

So, stay tuned, maybe when we get closer to civilization we'll thaw and show up in our true location!
