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.

Korčula
Korčula (staronjemački Kurzel, talijanski Curzola, grčki Κόρκυρα Μέλαινα, Korkyra Melaina, latinski Corcyra Nigra) je otok u južnom Jadranu. Ima površinu od 279,03 km2 (dužina 46,8 km, širina 5,3-7,8 km) i oko 16.000 stanovnika. Drugi je otok u Hrvatskoj po broju stanovnika, nakon Krka, koji ima 16.402 ljudi.
U gradu Korčuli stoji kuća za koju se vjeruje da je u njoj rođen Marko Polo. Postoji dvojba je li rođen na Korčuli ili možda negdje drugdje. Grad Korčula se zbog ljepote svoga specifičnog starog grada često naziva i “Malim Dubrovnikom”.
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.

Korcula
Korcula (Old German Kurzel, Italian Curzola, Greek Κόρκυρα Μέλαινα, Korkyra Melaina, Latin Corcyra Nigra) is an island in the southern Adriatic. It has an area of 279.03 km2 (length 46.8 km, width 5.3-7.8 km) and about 16,000 inhabitants. It is the second island in Croatia in terms of population, after Krk, which has 16,402 people.
In the town of Korcula stands a house believed to have been the birthplace of Marco Polo. There is a doubt whether he was born on Korcula or maybe somewhere else. Due to the beauty of its specific old town, the town of Korčula is often called "Little Dubrovnik".
