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, u ljeto 2021. je projekt nastavljen na Srednjem Jadranu gdje se obišlo 17 novih otoka, dok je ove 2022. godine red došao na Sjeverni Jadran i finalnih 17 naseljenih otoka u Hrvatskoj.
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.

Rab
Za razliku od ostalih kvarnerskih otoka, koje karakterizira relativno veliki broj naselja, otok Rab ima relativno mali broj naselja, samo 8. Na njihov položaj utjecali su klima i sastav podloge. Sva su rapska naselja nastala u prostorima zaštićenim od bure, tako da su sva naselja okrenuta na jugozapad.
Rab je među onim malobrojnim jadranskim otocima koji ne bilježe pad broja stanovnika. Štoviše, broj stanovnika stalno se povećava. Čak 40% otoka pokriveno je šumom.
Od poznatih stanovnika Raba izdvajamo Svetog Marina, koji je 301. godine osnovao republiku San Marino.
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 known Covid situation and restrictions, the year 2020 was skipped, in the summer of 2021 the project continued in the Central Adriatic where 17 new islands were visited, while this year 2022 it was the turn of the Northern Adriatic and the final 17 inhabited islands in Croatia.
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.

Rab
Unlike the other Kvarner islands, which are characterized by a relatively large number of settlements, the island of Rab has a relatively small number of settlements, only 8. Their position was influenced by the climate and composition of the substrate. All Rab settlements were created in areas protected from storms, so all settlements face southwest.
Rab is among the few Adriatic islands that do not see a decline in population. Moreover, the number of inhabitants is constantly increasing. Even 40% of the island is covered by forest.
Among the famous residents of Rab, we single out Saint Marino, who founded the Republic of San Marino in 301.
