« 10 thousand sipp sounded a decent number »
Viðar Stefánsson, a pastor of the Landakirkja church in the Westman Islands, made little headway and sipped over 10,000 sips on a profession, Friday long, to strengthen crab protection.
When a journalist mbl.is heard in Reverend Vidar, he was eating his carbohydrates after finishing the sip in the church home for over two hours. « It just went very well. »

The idea was born in January when Viðar set himself the goal of the year to swim the Guðlaugssund, which is 6 kilometers. He finished the swim in March, but the sip waited until April.
« When you were training only for it – because it’s better to be in a little more than no form – you noticed that there was a lot of time in training and thought if you couldn’t use this movement and time for good. Then this idea came to move to strengthen good causes, » he says. It provides with a variety of cancer and their relatives.
« I’ve been sipping a little in recent years – but with breaks anyway – that’s why I chose the zip, and 10,000 Sipp sounded a decent number. »
The children’s children voted
At first, Wood was not sure which charity should be chosen and decided to allow the church’s children to vote.
The children got a choice between three companies and got the crab defense most votes.
There must be a lot to do with you right now, could you totally be this on Friday long?
« I admit now that I should have a ceremony afterwards, at five, » says the priest, laughing.
« But, of course, this is of course just a certain season for us. »
Began to find about seven thousand
The sip started shortly after a Mass, which began at 11am in the church. Wood did not have the Mass this morning, but celebrated last night.
Thoranna M. Sigurbergsdóttir, chairman of the crab protection, gave a short speech before rock music was put on the phone and Viðar started sipping.
Wood sipped some additional sips for safety.

A phone he had in his pocket considered the bounce and he decided to sip an additional 500 to be absolutely sure that the sipping would be 10 thousand. Sippin eventually became about 10,800.
As mentioned before, the sip took over two hours and he says it was what he expected.
« When I had seven thousand sips, you only started to feel the carcass more. But when you saw that the goal approached you stopped piling on it, » says Viðar.
The sip took about two hours.
