not a moment too soon

Quote:

The rescue came not a moment too soon: Fredricsen said they had begun to drink sea water because it hadn't rained in the past few nights.

Not a moment too soon? Did the rescue come after a while?

Re: not a moment too soon

It's just an expression to mean "at a point when it was really urgent".
