You know, I'm surprised Eustace didn't realise he could fly.

Dragons > Ships :p

He could fly, but they were making a journey that took days and days to get to where they were headed (actually they didn't know how long because they were exploring unmapped regions searching for someone). In other words, they didn't know if Eustace could keep up, and how would he sleep? Besides, he didn't want to stay a dragon, for him it was lonely and boring. He thought it was cool at first, because he could boss the other kids around being bigger and everything but he couldn't talk and he couldn't write well as a dragon and was thus isolated.

And I'm pretty sure that's after the part where the ship is becalmed and they are all on short rations. A dragon would eat them out of house and home soon enough.

In the next book, Eustace calms a dragon that was marauding at them. He wasn't exactly scarred for life by the affair. }:>
