Default Cached page in Google

Good afternoon, all. =)
Google has been delivering a cached page w/ a 'macromedia player not current' title for over a year when 'old bahama bay' is searched for (www.oldbahamabay.com). From the reading I've done, it seems I should just sit tight and wait for it to correct itself. Is there anything else that can be done to change the page title?
Thanks in advance to all of the gurus out there.

Hi May. Bit strange this. When was the last time you updated the page? Try to make small changes monthly. I would be inclined to put the TITLE tag above all the META tags and to put the javascript into an external file and see if that helps.

Thanks Nick..I appreciate your help and time.
I will implement your suggestions today. Also, will you explain why it is beneficial to make small changes monthly? Is it to let the spiders know to crawl the site again since the revisit tag is pretty much ignored?

It's partly that they will come more often if they see changes since last time they visited. I try to make changes a few times a week to keep them on their toes. It is also sending a quality signal. Fresh material is a sign that the source is valuable because it is up to date, so you have a chance of higher rankings. You get addicted to "fiddling" after a while, so it should be no problem!
