    Many years ago I read a post from someone who was searching for this book as well and they thought the name of the sailboat was Sandpiper but I honestly don’t know if that was accurate or not. I don’t recall it being solved and I lost track of the inquiry.

    I too am looking for this book. I recall the sailboat was named Sandpiper and the marble was blue with white clouds. Also the boy liked to sleep in the bow of the boat with the stored sails. Does anyone know the name of this book? I would like to find it for my 8 yr old.
