You are correct about no friendly islands on the route, but you can  probably get permission to overfly Cuba on the way and it would  be acceptable for an emergency landing. Also, I didn't check your 350 NM  distance estimate, but I've flown some 400 NM legs recently with no help from  the wind gods.

  

 However, please understand that I didn't suggest flying that trip with a  headwind. Over water wind predictions are iffy, and you will want at least a  zero headwind forecast, then hope for something close. I once had a Spanish  forecaster give me the wind 180 deg out on a long over water leg. It was  probably a language problem, but we did pucker when we figured it out. I  still have the napkin he wrote that forecast on.

  

 But that's another story.
