Rok i Ribafish, sin i otac, bili su geocacheri amateri i skupili su preko 300 cacheva sa svih strana svijeta. Imali su plan zajedno posjetiti sve naseljene hrvatske otoke, no njihovu avanturu je prekinula sudbina. Danas, Rok više nije na ovom svijetu, ali tata Ribafish ispunjava obećanje koje mu je dao - da će posjetiti sve hrvatske naseljene otoke, pa stvara Udrugu i projekt #RokOtok, edukacijsko plivački maraton u kojem će kroz tri godine i pedesetak etapa preplivati udaljenosti između svih 50 hrvatskih naseljenih otoka. Ujedno, na svakom otoku će pokušati drugim klincima razviti svijest o važnosti provođenja zajedničkog vremena roditelja i djece kroz sport, druženje, učenje, istraživanje, kao i važnost očuvanja prirode. Geocaching se također promovira kao jedna aktivnost koja odvlači djecu od buljenja u igrice na ekranu prema avanturi, orijentaciji i istraživanju prirode.
Projekt je počeo u ljeto 2019. kad je preplivao preko 100 km spajajući 17 naseljenih otoka u južnom Jadranu. Zbog poznate Covid situacije i ograničenja preskočena je 2020. godina, a u ljeto 2021. slijedi avantura na Srednjem Jadranu, kad će se plivajući obići 17 novih otoka.
Hrvatski geocacheri su se okupili i napravili “ekološke” cacheve koji će uz prigodnu prezentaciju o geocachingu biti postavljeni na tih 17 otoka. Ovo je jedan od cacheva iz serije.

Murter
Murter je sjevernodalmatinski otok površine 17.58 km². Naselja na otoku su Betina, Tisno, Jezera i Murter koji je najveće i najstarije mjesto na otoku, a s kopnom je spojen kratkim mostom u mjestu Tisno.
Otok Murter danas je značajna turistička destinacija s brojnim kulturno-povijesnim znamenitostima, prirodnim plažama i nenaseljenim otocima u neposrednoj blizini. Veći dio otoka prekriven je stoljetnim stablima maslina i smokava što su i glavne tradicionalne kulture. Pod hrvatskim imenom "Srimač" spominje se 1251. godine kada ugarsko-hrvatski kralj Bela proglašava granice Šibenske komune, a danas broji oko 5.000 stanovnika.
Rok and Ribafish, son and father, were amateur geocachers and they found over 300 caches from all over the world. They had a plan to visit all the inhabited Croatian islands together, but their adventure was interrupted by fate. Today, Rok is no longer in this world, but dad Ribafish fulfills the promise he gave him - that he will visit all Croatian inhabited islands. So, he created the Association and the project #RokOtok (Otok = island in Croatian), an educational swimming marathon in which he will connect all 50 Croatian inhabited islands by swimming, in three years and fifty(ish) stages. At the same time, on each island he will try to educate children and develop their awareness of the importance of spending time with their parents through sports, socializing, learning, research, as well as the importance of nature conservation. Geocaching is also promoted as one activity that distracts children from staring at on-screen games towards adventure, orientation and nature exploration.
The project began in the summer of 2019 when he swam over 100 km connecting 17 inhabited islands in the Southern Adriatic. Due to the well-known Covid situation and limitations, the year 2020 was skipped, but in the summer of 2021 an adventure in the Central Adriatic is scheduled, when 17 new islands will be visited by swimming.
Croatian geocachers gathered for this project and made "ecological" caches that will be placed on these 17 islands with a short presentation on geocaching. This is one of the caches from the series.

Murter
Murter is a north Dalmatian island with an area of 17.58 km². The settlements on the island are Betina, Tisno, Jezera and Murter, which is the largest and oldest place on the island, and is connected to the mainland by a short bridge in Tisno.
Today, the island of Murter is a significant tourist destination with numerous cultural and historical sights, natural beaches and uninhabited islands in the immediate vicinity. Most of the island is covered with centuries-old olive and fig trees, which are the main traditional crops. Under the Croatian name "Srimač" it is mentioned in 1251 when the Hungarian-Croatian king Bela proclaimed the borders of the Šibenik commune, and today it has about 5,000 inhabitants.
