Google has listed my URL with an error. They list
"sailing.sanfranciscoapartment.us/sailSFbay.html" and that leads to an
error message because it should be:
"www.sanfranciscoapartment.us/sailSFbay"
I wrote their webmaster about without results.

As posted by secret901-ga below, Google doesn't manually update their
indexes. The best thing to do at this point, so that you don't loose
traffic to your site, and have a lot of people think you are off the
web, is to add the file and place a redirect tag in the header of that
file. I've made one for you that you can download from

http://www.lucidmatrix.com/uploads/redirect.txt

Right click on the link and choose "save target as" to get it to your
computer.

Change the name of this file to sailSFbay.html and place it in your
main area, where google is sending people. This will redirect the
browser to the proper page and get you fixed up until Google
re-indexes your site.

Thanks,

Google does not manually update its index.  Thus, it might take a
while for Google's spider to reach your new location if you have just
recently changed servers.
