How long does it take for live rock to dry up?

I've left mine 2 weeks on the patio, and its wet still. Not wet, wet. But it feels humid. I put it in my garage just now, but how long can it take?

The rock is very porous, there will be a lot of water in there slowly evaporating off. How high is your relative humidity? It could take a few weeks to dry out. I've been to FL and felt like I was never dry LOL.
