Although, it is not a 'sea' in the proper sense, Cuivienen means: Water of Awakening. The Elves were born at this site(Lake Cuivienen), and(from personal experience) as one who was born in similar circumstances(by an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean), this can definitely bring a certain longing to bear in one's life... I have spent many months at sea.
Perhaps there is also the mystical idea to be considered that the first voyage of the Elves was not in a ship or other fabricated device, but upon an land which moved across the waters of Arda becoming Tol Eressea... The Lonely Isle.
