Water has a property called "surface tension". This causes the surface molecules to be attracted to each other so as to form a 'skin' on the surface. This will allow an object that is heavier than water to appear to "float" on the surface, but NOT due to bouyancy alone.

If you were to put a surfactant (soap) in the water it would eliminate the Surface Tension, and the floating arrowhead would then sink.
