Pick your days right
Make sure boat is 100%
Radio/VHF/EPIRB
Safety gear
Be prepared for anything
You’ll be fine
Only other thing I’d add that others may disagree with… leave your motor running the whole trip. I only say that bc I’ve seen some boats with horrible wiring/not set up that great charging and power use wise. Worst feeling in the world would be going to head in and can’t start motor. Would be different with 2+ engines.

Use your judgement on this. I have dual cranking batteries with isolation switches and jumper cables for extra peace of mind. Fishing upcurrent of a rig, leave it running. Getting a little rough, leave it running. Downcurrent and it's nice out and plenty of boats around, ehhhh. Mine isn't very quiet and it gets annoying if you don't really need it.

We leave both running. We also hardly ever tie-up but that's just a personal preference.
