SYDNEY, Australia — A father and his 6-year-old daughter have arrived in Australia unharmed after 26 days at sea in a tiny catamaran. The pair, who had departed from New Zealand’s North Island, had been the subject of an air and sea search by the New Zealand authorities since Dec. 26. Mr. Langdon, 49, and his daughter, Que, left Kawhia Harbor on North Island on Dec. 17. His plan was to sail north to the Bay of Islands, also on the North Island, for Christmas, according to the New Zealand police. Mr. Langdon said that the pair had fresh water and that Que was safe.
