I don't think that is so easy. I missed all of them. Besides, I don't think the Canary Islands are in the Pacific. I'm going to check my NGS atlas, but I think they are in the Atlantic near Africa, or maybe New Zealand. Maybe they were thinking of the Sandwich Islands which really are in the Pacific. I know I think about them a lot.
