Nice stash. Try stacking the logs on end. Gravity will force the water out the ends. The fibers run vertically, when palm lies on its side the water has no where for water to run. The fan may help a bit?? - but not much. Most of the moisture in palm is at the center of the log. The trick is drying the center before the log starts to rot. You will be amazed at how light the logs will get when totally dry!
