Could all those elves be wrong? Something...hope...faith...legend... led them to believe they would be received if they set sail. Throughout the story the elves seem to be both wise and informed. They act bravely, selflessly, but seldom rashly. I don't think they would have sailed or that they would have invited Bilbo, Frodo, or Gimli unless they had reason to believe they would be welcomed.
