They could, however, see Avallónë which is a city on Tol Eressëa "easternmost of the Undying Lands." [Sil., Akallabêth, p. 324] All I know is that they did sail:

"ever eastward and not westward, from the darkness of the North to the heats of the South, and beyond the South to the Nether Darkness; and they came even into the inner seas, and sailed about Middle-earth"
