Are we assuming that the only use Cirdans fok made of ships was to sail into the West? Isn't that a bit short minded?
At least on sailing trip is told that aimed not into the West - the rescue ship for Arvedui. I am sure that from Mithlond Elves sailed each and every day to return in the evening for the simple reason of fishing. If we assume that a few adventours Hobbits arrived a Mithlond and heired to one of that fishing ships there is no need to wonder were they got to in the end. If they did not return into the shire, they would die of old age in Mithlond - that all.
There is no need to speculate over any secret trip of a Hobbit to Valinor. For the closed and conservativ society of the Shire the disapearance of a Hobbit and the rumour that he had gone in the direction of Mithlond would be enough for such tales as we get from Bilbo.
