If you look at the file themes/bluemarine/style.css on line 183 there is a rule like this:

#sidebar-left, #sidebar-right {
  background-color: #ddd;
  width: 16em;
  /* padding in px not ex because IE messes up 100% width tables otherwise */
  padding: 10px;
  vertical-align: top;
}

You need to make the sidebars smaller, so change the width to 12em (for example) and save the file. Refresh your browser.
