I don't see why it couldn't have taken Blake 6-8 months to get to Menagerie.

One possibility is that she got on a ship in the City of Vale's port, which is on the west coast of Sanus' north end, so the boat had to go aaaall the wayyyy arouuuuund one way or the other to go southeast toward Menagerie. But the ship she was initially on wasn't Menagerie-bound, so it actually stopped somewhere else, and she hopped onto another ship, etc.

Another is that she couldn't get a ship out of Vale due to the chaotic circumstances, so she had to travel by foot to another coastal city that had ships available. This actually makes sense with the fact that RNJR ended up in a village just outside of Vale in the Character Short. They couldn't get a ship directly out of the City of Vale either. The most they probably got was a ferry or small airship off of Patch that couldn't or wouldn't take them to Anima.

Perhaps Blake ended up having to go to a southern area in Anima to find a ship that would take her to Menagerie.

It wouldn't be that she waited 6-8 months to go there like you're saying. That wouldn't line up in the least. It's that it would take her 6-8 months to get almost there. She traveled to the other side of the world by land and sea.
