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.

Krk
Otok Krk ima površinu od 405,78 km². Sve do 1993. godine Krk se smatrao najvećim jadranskim otokom. Početkom te godine, Geodetski Zavod Rijeka modernim računalnim mjerenjima dobio je podatak da su otoci Krk i Cres potpuno identične površine, a što je u javnosti izazvalo senzaciju jer se Krk smatrao većim od Cresa za oko 5 km², a i jer je djelovalo nevjerojatnim da dva susjedna otoka imaju potpuno identičnu površinu. Razlog da su se desetljećima pogrešno prikazivale površine ovih dvaju otoka je u tome što je mjerenje njihovih površina prvi i posljednji put bilo 1823. godine, a od tada su podaci bili samo prepisivani. Međutim, s obzirom na to da se razina Jadranskog mora postepeno podiže, a obale otoka Cresa su strmije od onih na Krku, za očekivati je da će u skoroj budućnosti Cres postati najvećim otokom u Jadranu.
S Krka potječu i jedni od najstarijih i najznačajnih glagoljaških spomenika: Bašćanska ploča, Krčki natpis i Jurandvorski fragment. Svi oni nastali su do kraja 11. st.
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.

Krk
The island of Krk has an area of 405.78 km². Until 1993, Krk was considered the largest Adriatic island. At the beginning of that year, the Geodetic Institute of Rijeka, using modern computer measurements, obtained the information that the islands of Krk and Cres are completely identical in surface, which caused a sensation among the public because Krk was considered larger than Cres by about 5 km², and because it seemed incredible that two neighboring islands have a completely identical surface. The reason that the surfaces of these two islands have been incorrectly displayed for decades is that their surfaces were measured for the first and last time in 1823, and since then the data has only been copied. However, considering that the level of the Adriatic Sea is gradually rising, and the coasts of the island of Cres are steeper than those of Krk, it is to be expected that in the near future Cres will become the largest island in the Adriatic.
One of the oldest and most significant Glagolitic monuments originate from Krk: the Bašćanska ploča, the Krk inscription and the Jurandvor fragment. All of them were created by the end of the 11th century
