1) The difference is the amount of time spent on the water. Blake assumedly boarded the ship to Menagerie from Sanus, the two not being that far apart in comparison to Anima to Sanus heading east.

2) ......but if its another dragon, they'll need the blade users. Jaune I doubt could fight it in midair like Blake did (Plus, motion sickness), Weiss' saber is more for thrust not cutting, Ren can throw Stormflower but then runs the risk of them falling into the sea.

1) Anima-to-Sanus, heading east, is actually closer than Sanus-to-Menagerie. Of course, that's if they're going to Vacuo's side of Sanus, not to Vale's.

2) Jaune could just stay back and heal or play tactician. Weiss's saber would cut it's wings just-fine because they're bat wings, not rocks, and if she can't, the Knight can. And Ren wouldn't even need to throw anything, he could just go at it, and if he can't jump at it then he just gets Nora or Yang to throw him at it.

Nora herself could do some stuff. The Dragon shoots lightning, she gets buffed up. Her buff isn't just power, it's overall strength which means she can run faster and jump higher, so she can easily get to the dragon and likely tank the beams for the team. Then she could probably fire grenades point-blank, a range where they are more likely to hit.

3) Which is exactly what she would love to do, considering she wants nothing to do with Ozpin's little war.
