Collecting Kelp on Galiano

I'm spending a few days beachside on Galiano Island and as there is a bountiful supply of kelp I'm stocking up my supply the way a squirrel stashes nuts for the winter! I start each day with a stroll down to the beach where I locate and untangle the harvest which drifts in on the overnight tide then I wind it up and place it on the rocks to be dried. Some nice hot days would be great to get the dehydration process underway.
