I ended up doing this Tuesday night

Sea salt, now bagged up in Ziplocs:

I can't keep the bags open without letting in ambient humidity. But leaving the bags closed, even with paper towels inside them to act as desiccants, means the water inside can't escape. Solution: open the bags up periodically and change out the towels with new, dry ones. Keep the old, salt-covered towels, removing their salt, rinsing them, then dumping the removed salt back into the bags while letting the damp, used towels hang-dry. The final bag, also the lightest bag, is definitely the one with the most humidity in it. I should probably stick two towels in that one. I wonder how long it will take to achieve total dryness. 

I can't wait for fall.
