Default not a moment too soon
Hello Sue,

After 50 days adrift, 3 teens rescued in S Pacific - Yahoo! News
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?

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