What is the most conservative route that I can propose

It's pretty much of a 400+ NM straight shot to Key West, and a cake
walk to Miami from there. Just be sure to give Cuba a wide berth, at
least 20 miles, and follow the proscribed US Customs procedures.
Look for a good weather window without strong easterlies like we've
been having for the last two weeks.
